So, I haven't yet talked to my Dr about my anxiety. I've been trying to work myself up to it for a few mths now. I was in and out of the hospital for gerd and asthma for about a year, before the doc at the e.r told me of I didn't see a regular physician about my gerd and asthma I would possibly end up with COPD or emphazema. That was 3 months ago. O was wondering if anyone knows if its possible for my anxiety to be causing these conditions or vice versa? I would assume since I have had anxiety symptoms my whole life that these conditions wouldn't have caused it, but I was also diagnosed with asthma at age 10, but quit needed medication before middle school. I do remember having stomach aches quite often when growing up. To the point that people didn't necessarily believe me. So maybe I had acid reflux the whole time and didn't know it? Is that possible? Can anyone help me answer these questions.
