Answer 3

There is a direct relationship. When you are feeling anxious or under stress, the acid in your stomach increases. Because there is more acid, it has a tendency to reflux up through the esophagus, and into our throat and mouth, giving us a horrible taste. If untreated, it can cause esophageal burns/ulcers.

Yes, I have acid reflux, and it seems to act up when I'm stressed or nervous

Answer 5

depending on the way your body reacts to anxiety.
some ppl produce more gastric juices when anxious and i guess the bowels move more too, so the gastic juices travel up to your oesophagus. :)
