Hi,so sorry you're going through all this,sounds like a big old case of health anxiety,which so many of us are prone to. I'm just over a 3 month bout of it. Mine was all down to reflux but throw in the anxiety and I had pain in my back,top of stomach,lump in throat etc,just awful.
Acid reflux definitely worsens through meno,I never had it until a few years ago,I have found taking ginger capsules and camomile tablets have absolutely nailed it for me, I still have to keep away from tomatoes and pastry but it really is better and I'd rather take them than the omeprazole that the Dr prescribes with all its side effects x
