How Anxiety Affects Acid Reflux in Women?

Image
Anxiety is a feeling of uneasiness , worry , or fear . It is something that I as a woman, will experience at some point in my life. Being a mother, I can easily be triggered by a variety of things, from running after work, household, personal relationships with my spouse, my child, or health issues.

Do you feel alone and helpless when you fighting health challenges? Yes, I did. And I want to share my personal experience of my battle. Anxiety attacks can be an overwhelming and frightening experience, leaving those who suffer from them feeling alone and helpless. This is a personal experience that I am all too familiar with, having struggled with anxiety attacks myself. I vividly remember my first attack, when I was driving home from work late at night and suddenly felt an intense feeling of fear and discomfort. My palms became sweaty, my body started to shake, and I found it hard to breathe. I had to pull over and calm myself down before I could continue driving. Despite this, I still felt anxious, and I eventually went to the clinic to get a jab from the doctor, which provided temporary relief until I got back home.   The experience was overwhelming, and it left me feeling unable to handle the steering wheel. I was afraid the car would sway away from the road or even worse, ...
