I hear you on the reflux. Had a diagnostic cath done a few years ago because of chest pains and blood pressure surges but it all came up negatory and the doctor was baffled.
Hang in there Hank; I had a lot of family issue going on about four-five years ago plus money woes and it was a real struggle. Anxiety is very difficult to manage; it takes a lot of discipline. I'll be quite honest, at least in my case it became so frequent I just got numb to all of it. The only thing you can do is hope that there's someone to keep pushing you to get you through it. The worst was seeing my grandma get treated the way she did by grandpa and her aunts when she was on her way out. One of them just looked at her and said, "Ok momma, just hurry up and die already." She was laid up from parkinson's and couldn't talk anymore. She stayed that way for months until she passed. Find a good priest or a pastor; cling to your wife/girlfriend for guidance. You'll will more than likely not get the answer you're hoping for but you'll find small successes and victories. God bless you and may peace come to your house.
