This is a bump on Alvin's question. I have been on Nexium only 2 months but twice have had sever anxiety attacks which caused me to go to the ER. I had one other such attack ( and none ever in my life) and that was 4 months ago when I first learned I may had Acid Reflux. Why does Acid Reflux turn into a scary bout of Anxiety at times? Any way to combat that when it happens?

I've Been on PPI's for over 5 years. During that time I have had generalized anxiety with occasional panic attacks. From what I have read ppi's can make it dificult to absorb some nutrients such as B1. Our bodies need certain nutrients to maintain balance. I know that seratonin is dependant on some nutrients that may become lacking when taking nexium. Low seratonin can cause depression and anxiety. Also my dentist says that ppi's can cause dry mouth and enzyme defeciency which can affect oral health.

 

Best of luck!
