Million suffer from acid related disorders with little respite without treatment. Today progress made has given us a quantum leap in understanding the disease and this has translated into the development of effective treatment. Right from the use of antacids which dominated the treatment arena in the last century to the discovery of Histamine-2-receptor antagonists towards the second half of the last century, progress has been constant over the decades. Today the benefits of the PPIs (proton pump inhibitors) have percolated to countless people across the globe. At no point in history were acid disorders this effectively managed. Furthermore, the relationship between anxiety and heartburn is not an obvious one. Many of the patients that suffer from heartburn when they have anxiety already had GERD (gastroesophageal reflux disorder). However, GERD patients with psychological comorbidity tend to seek medical assistance for their acid reflux earlier than patients without comorbidity, probably due to anxiety, concern over painful symptoms and depression, prompting scientist to dwell on the approach forward. Lead by observations that are based on recent data about the contribution of psychological comorbidity to the PPI failure phenomenon, GERD patients who are not responsive to treatment should be evaluated for psychological comorbidity.Keywords: Histamine-2-receptor; GERD patients; PPI; Inflammatory reactions; Clinical condition
