Patient's Query
Hello doctor,
I am a 45-year-old female. I feel nervous sometimes that I cannot sleep and have sticky saliva in the throat that feels like acidic stock in my throat. Every time I feel worried about the Covid19 situation, I am having had time to relax myself and these symptoms start to happen again. I take some probiotics and Moringa capsule.
Hello,
Welcome to icliniq.com.
Do you have a history of anxiety or acid reflux disease? What have you tried so far to make yourself feel better?
Patient's Query
Thank you doctor,
Only now I feel this problem in my health maybe because of the current pandemic lockdown and uncertain situation. I try to change what I eat and avoid acidic food and try to relax but it comes back and makes me more worried and anxious which starts to feel acidic coming up to my throat and sometimes hard to breathe and having hard time to sleep.
Hello,
Welcome back to icliniq.com.
There are two things going on here, panic situation (extreme anxiety) and gastric reflux. I understand that under given circumstances it is not possible for you to go out and get medications but perhaps you can try amazon or other deliveries and get Pepcid for yourself. Take one pill daily this will help with the reflux.
The pandemic is challenging but I would want you to relax and try not to get yourself worked up. You can take Tylenol PM (Acetaminophen) to sleep if you have some. Please try to relax and if you need to speak to us let me know.
