Ever since dinner I have had heartburn, shortness of breath and random anxiety.. I was wondering if gerd worsens your asthma. and my anxiety is worse for no reason after I ate dinner and my insides and anxiety wont relax. I was wondering if GERD can cause anxiety as well. I hate feeling like this. I finally got over migraines now I have a different issue lol. Its frustrating. What do you do for heartburn? I already took tums and it didn't work. I think my heartburn is from the rigatoni with spaghetti sauce for dinner.

GERD can actually be the cause of asthma. My mom developed a hiatal Hernia That Was causing severe GERD. After a few months she started having asthma. The pulmonologist told her the acid coming up in her throat would sometimes drain into the trachea and therefore the lungs. The acid damages the lungs and causes asthma.
