Reflux Caused By Nerves, valium helped Posted: 12-03-07 11:33am
I have been very sick for 8mo tons of
tests, biopsies etc. All they say is
bacteria infec or scars on lung. Now I
have acid reflux told by ent Dr it's the
one caused by nerves. I do have a very
stressful life alot of anxiety which
effects it. I have tried so many natural
things that don't work. The other day I
was upset & my stomach was killing me
found some valium 2mg I was given along
time ago but never took, I tried 1/2 of
one & the pain in stomach went away
& it even helped my coughing. I don't
want antidepressents but have to say even
alittle bit of that seemed to have worked.

This is only my own theroy. I personally
believe that nerves play a big role in AR.
Don't rule out going on anti-depressants
quite yet. That may be the one thing that
will help you most. And by no means am I
saying that going on anti-depressants is
the only way and foolproof way for
anything. Just that the option is out
there for you.

Antidepressents Posted: 12-23-07 08:41am
I think you're right, the valium seemed to
not help reflux after awhile & made me
depressed. I'm trying Buspar now seems to
be helping. I have always had much too
much stress & held it in now I'm
paying. I'm 66 so Dr sd thats a safer med
for older people. I also have COPD &
lost alot of weight from that & being
so sick 8mo. So now I'm also trying to
stop smoking, something I used as a crutch
all these yrs to handle the stress, or so
I thought.

Just try to alway remember redjoy, that
everything is just a bandaid on the
problem. Whether it be drinking,
recreational drugs etc......the underlying
problem still exsists and untill you get
to the bottom of those problems they will
always be there and we have to learn
through the best way that works for us to
cope with them.
Do me a favor and click on my user name
and just take a look at what I have to put
up with. I consider myself a doctors worst
nightmare. But my GP is a doll and my
neuro is doing my pain managment. They
both trust me, all I have to do is call
and it is done. My pulmonologist is the
same way. Normally, I don't even have to
go into the office with the symtoms I call
in. It is a great feeling that they all
know I do not abuse my drugs. I almost
died twice from lung issues and I don't
want to die due to my own malace.
Hugs and I am 60 years old so don't feel
bad. These disordors don't pick age. They
just happen with circumstances.

Boy you have been thru alot but keep going
thats the main thing! I'm gonna fill out
my my info now I didn't do it. My biggest
trigger thru the yrs as been my younger
daughter who is bi-polar but turned to
drugs & has been in & out of
prisons & mental hospitals. She tries
very hard but has a hard time making it,
she's in N/A now which helps.

Acid Reflux Posted: 12-26-07 10:49am
I have been treating it naturally do the
slippery elm, licorice & aloe juice.
As I sd I have a very stressful life &
when I get upset that's when it bothers
me. I have found that taking the buspar
has helped alot with that. I have always
tried to do things naturally, not on any
meds except that which I started about a
week ago. One of my other problems is COPD
from smoking too many yrs, used it as a
crutch.
I do believe what you say all those meds
are just a bandaid got to work on the
problem causing it, Thanks
