Nexium is probably not causing your anxiety symptoms
Detailed Answer:
Hi...
Welcome to "Ask a Doctor"service.
I am Dr Ajeet XXXXXXX
I have gone through your query and here is my opinion.
Librax is a good drug for IBS and anxiety related bowel disturbances.
It will also help in restoration of your appetite.
Nexium is esomeprazole which belongs to PPI group of drugs.
It has many side effects like nausea,loose stools,gas and stomach pain but an exacerbation of anxiety disorder has not been reported.
Instead of opting for a midnight snack,you should take your dinner early and should avoid sleep deprivation.
You should go to bed much earlier.
This would help to ease down your symptoms.
Have smaller frequent meals instead of three major meals,avoid heavy and gassy meals,avoid alcohol,caffeine and junk food,get sun exposure,practice belly breathing and do meditation.
If the symptoms do not improve,please see your clinician for complete evaluation and clinical examination.
Hope that I have answered your query.
Stay healthy and stay blessed.
Regards.

Nexium is probably not causing your anxiety symptoms
Detailed Answer:
Welcome back...
As we all know that burping is due to release of swallowed air from the stomach so I would suggest you to eat and drink slowly so that you swallow less air.
Avoid talking during meals.
Avoid carbonated drinks,soda,alcohol,beer and gums.
Get moving and start to have a 20 minute walk after meals.
Take some antacid gel to neutralize stomach acid which can cause burping.
Avoid gassy and heavy meals.
Warm Regards.

Continue to take Librax for your irritable bowel.
Take Nexium 40 mg for gastritis.
Avoid the intake of spicy foods and have diet with plenty of fibers.
Anxiety might be worsening your bowel symptoms.
Avoid stress and learn yoga,meditation and relaxation techniques.
Talk to your primary clinician on phone or visit him once the lockdown is over, for revision of your anxiety treatment regime and counseling.
