I’ve never been opposed to the idea that it could be anxiety. I’ve just already addressed it with my psychiatrist, we tried a couple of meds, and he agrees with me that it doesn’t appear to be anxiety. I’ve had the issue be absent during extreme anxiety and present when I felt no anxiety as well. I’m leaning more toward the possibility of silent reflux for myself. It’s only an insult to be told by a doctor that it must be anxiety if they haven’t done anything beyond one test. In my case the pulmonologist literally did one test and proclaimed it anxiety. No recommendation to see any other type of doctor, just “it must be anxiety.”

That is not good medical care.
