Anxiety and GERD (acid reflux): What do you do that helps?

I hope you are up to date on your physical exams(?). My mother had only gone to a therapist during her chronic gastrointestinal flare ups. In hindsight she was in need of a Internal Medicine work-up. As you are losing weight, does your Primary Care Physician see eye to eye with Psychiatry?

I’ve been going to see my primary care Dr. I’ve had blood work up. My one level that checks liver, etc was mildly high. But she wants to recheck the numbers in a couple of weeks. I was sick prior to that. Sometimes that could make it go up. I’ve had an abdominal ultrasound. It was pretty similar to a test I had a few years ago. (CT etc). I also had an upper GI. It had shown I still have GERD with some backup going up a 1/3 of esophagus. Suppose to have a scope. Don’t know how I’m going to get thru that with my extreme anxiety. This is why I’m wondering if Seroquel will help my issue with anxiety. Plus it will be a low dose. I just don’t want it to get out of hand and he increases it. But we were told from pharmacists it’s a safe drug. And would they say otherwise. Don’t know if I should ask PCP if it’s ok. Hate to have 2 drs telling me 2 different things. Having reflux issues is like a loop. Anxiety bothers it and reflux bothers anxiety. Any info is appreciated. Thank you.
