Hi does acid reflux cause some anxiety. I get acid reflux a bit Ive just bought some antacids to try. Basically when I get it It feels like My breath goes then there is thick spit in my mouth. That causes me to panic somewhat. Anyone else with this let me know

Yes acid reflux can cause anxiety.  Anxiety can cause acid reflux.  Uncontrolled acid reflux can cause every chest discomfort associated with anxiety.  An esophageal spasm may feel like a heart condition.  Many times if you have acid reflux you also have a Hiatal hernia.  Get it checked out.
