I think your eye symptoms are probably unrelated.  Do your symptoms correlate to anything you eat?

Saw my internist and he referred me to a gastrologist.  waiting for an appointment.  internist prescribed Prilosec.  he also asked me to begin to take Maalox (4 teaspoons daily).  the Maalox has really helped... no pain the last couple of days.  

Have had a lot of anxiety/stress lately and trying to work on that.

Welcome to the gastroenterology community!  Have you seen a doctor about this?  Does it correlate to anything you ate?  Are you having any anxiety/stress?
