Heartburn, day two

Mar 18, 2014 08:33

So I'm in day two of a case of heartburn. My second in the past year, after not having heartburn at all since I quit working for Bossy Lady back in 2007. I quit working for her because I was getting seriously painful heartburn as often as twice a week that was keeping me from sleeping. I suspect it was the stress of working for a crazy boss that ( Read more... )

When I'm stressed my stomach bothers me. Even if I have no knowledgeable reason to be stressed...it's hard for my body to come out of it's "fight or flight" mode, especially when you've been stuck in it for so long.

Glad the Zantac is doing the job.

I knew one of the meds I had tried back in 2007 had worked, it had just been so damn long that I couldn't remember which one it was. And I had long since cleaned out the medicine cabinet.

It's stress. I've never had heartburn when it wasn't. *sighs*

Now to try to figure out how to de-stres....

Mine went away (mostly) when I gave up gluten. Severely decreasing sugar also helps (/sigh, getting old sucks).

I miss bagels and morning toast but I don't miss the heartburn. I can drink red wine again! =D

I have a cast iron stomach and can generally eat just about whatever I want.

I'd never had heartburn in my life until my boss (code name Bossy Lady) went off the deep end back in 2007 and turned my job into a living nightmare. The minute I quit that job, I ceased to have heartburn. Until one instance earlier this year (not that I've had any stress at work lately, no, not me! *snorts*)

I just need to figure out how to chill out about work again. I think I just need to make it past the next two weeks or so.

Coming to the party late...have you isolated your upset tummy causes?

I think it was just weird/rich/greasy/spicy food combined with the stress of coming back to the office. Where I had a deadline last week, I have a deadline this week, and another deadline next week *sighs*
