Anyone ever have heartburn caused by stress?

I did as my wedding got closer. I ate a very bland diet - nothing acidic or high in fat at all because that's what aggravated it (along with stress). I spent a few nights sleeping almost sitting up. If it's that bad, you can go to the doctor and get a prescription (nexium or priolosec).
But mostly, I changed my diet and I tried to avoid people who caused my stress (though it was difficult).
I know that you're having a really rough time right now. Hope that this doesn't last long for you

Thanks I just get so worked up when people act sh!tty, and I guess it's really affecting me.

Isn't it crazy how their sh1tiness can affect you? As soon as the wedding was over, almost all of my stress symptoms disappeared.
Sorry that you have do deal with the heartburn on top of everything else. It can be so painful.

I know how you feel, I have acid reflux and I'm on meds for it, but sometimes if I'm overly stressed even the meds don't help.

Heres what you could try though, Do not eat late at night try to eat last meal by 7pm(avoid anything spicy) and then don't lie down for about 3-4 hours after eating. Sleeping up on an angle will help too, so have those pillows propped up. I hope you feel better

Try Pepcid AC. It's over the counter, like Rolaids, but stronger in my opinion. Pepto is more for upset stomachs.

My father's doctor recommended Pepcid to him years ago, and now my whole family uses it.

Also, drink more water, and eat less greasy, fried foods.

And to help you sleep, close your eyes and take deep breaths and think about something totally not wedding related....like a green meadow with wild flowers, blue skies etc. It sounds cheesey, but it's calming.

Yeah and normally I never have stomach problems. But my FH was good to me last night. He kept propping pillows up until I was comfortable. But there was NO way I could sleep lying straight down like I normally do.

YESSSSSSSS, all the time! I actually have acid reflux and take nexium but there have been many mnay times that it was stress related and not food!
It stinks! There's nothing I can do but to take the medicine! Good luck!

I did yesterday as a matter of fact... i started thinking about all i have to do this week on top of the $hitty project that was thrown in my face last minute on friday last week, then thinking about our house hunting (put in an offer yesterday for a house), then all the things i have to have done before our trip to PA/NJ/NY this weekend, and starting to stress because my invitation supplies have not come yet and i orderred them 2 weeks ago, and i had to order some of them from a seperate store and the dye is different on so many of them and now i have to hope i can return them and get the right stuff in time from another company! Too much to get done by the end of this week and the end of this month!
