Feeling Awful

I was diagnosed with GERD almost one year ago and have all the usual symptoms but I also have other things when  GERD flares up. My whole body aches and I feel itchy and get headaches. I also have had anxiety issues for many years but it seems like when things get bad my anxiety also ramps up and I know it can cause some of these symptoms. So the main question is does anyone else fell like that when GERD flares up.

Yes my mum had severe GERD and numerous health conditions including severe anxiety. Long story short, she was suffering GERD and all her other physical and mental health symptoms due to not enough stomach acid.  I took her off nexium and she now uses digestive enzymes and betaine HCL with pepsin with meals. Her health improved drastically!
