I feel the EXACT same as you!!

My husband thinks I am a 'hypochondriac' and just wants me to snap out of it and 'act like myself again'.

My kids want 'mom to feel better and not be so sick all the time'.

And my Dr. says that it is ANXIETY????????

I have given up ALL the 'bad foods/acid producing foods' on the list and STILL feel AWFUL. I too suspect that I have a hiatal hernia (which would account for the chest tightness, etc.) - and I believe my HBP medication (though a low does 25 mg Toprol) - is making it all MUCH WORSE.....

I am exhausted from the daily battle of symptoms and struggling to figure out 'how to fix myself' so that I can feel good again....

The anxiety medication calms me but DOES NOT take away the awful symptoms and pain.....

I think I will pick up some Zantac this weekend and give that a try (I have Prevacid 'in the hopper' but am scared to take it).

Thanks for letting me vent!!! At least we are not alone in our struggle.. We have a large pool here for support and comfort:angel:
