It can make heartburn feel more severe.
In a 2018 study published in the journal Gastroenterology, researchers tested the esophageal acidic pH values of patients with depression who self-reported as having acid reflux, too. Despite complaints of acid reflux pain, nearly half of the patients studied had normal pH values—indicating that they didn’t actually suffer from the condition.
