Can anxiety cause acid reflux?

 

[Hal 9000]

PROBABLY one of the greatest causes of acid reflux.

Are you having symptoms of acid?
There are simple ways to minimize it, of which you are probably already aware, such as not eating or drinking (not even water) 3-4 hours before bed, avoiding certain foods, avoid carbonation, sleeping with your upper body elevated.

Some people react to foods no one else does. I have a problem with oatmeal, bananas and sugary drinks, plus the usual obvious ones.

Anxiety exacerbates my GERD episodes, and some believe anxiety can indeed trigger episodes even when you don't otherwise have reflux / GERD. I don't doubt it.
