Hi all, I won't go into it to much as I've posted previously, as mentioned im trying to deal with what I'm told by my GP's is anxiety, I'm currently on amatriptyline & atenolol which I take of a night time, dealing with the anxiety is a struggle I have some good days and some really bad days, with the anxiety I keep having stomach acid which comes and goes, today it's been very uncomfortable, I'm now struggling to convince myself I'm fine, I've notice that when spitting the saliva was an off colour is this normal? I do keep having panics and now I'm convinced that this is blood, when you have heartburn/acid would this change the colour of the saliva?
hi Bill, i've been there with ulcers and haitus hernias. Sound like gastric reflux, which would colour your saliva. I've been on Losec in the past and now find Zoton deals with it when necessary. Long term reflux indicates you need it treated. My suggestion is to be honest with your descriptions to your GP so he can make a clear diagnosis. GP's are human and vary. Look after YOURSELF first.
Hi thanks for the reply, I've been dealing with anxiety since the beginning of November and been convinced I've had all sort of illnesses reassurance & two bloods tests have said I'm fine, since November I've been proscribed Propanolol, Citalipram, it was only during these I started getting the heartburn for which I was proscribed omeprazole but they didn't seem to do a thing, once stopping them the heartburn seemed to go I was fine last week but the heartburn has come back on today I should be more clear and say the siliva is like a yellowy acid and not red, but it's the acidy yellow that has set me worrying again
yep, I understand. It's common for lots of drugs to cause acid, sometimes through intolerance Tell your GP. He will give you something for the acid. That's what the yellow stuff is.
It's hard to accept you're diagnosed with anxiety when part of the parcel are all the physical aspects. I'm afraid it's the nature of the beast. It's a stinker. Take all the help you can get and don't be ashamed.
