Hello and welcome

I appreciate your concern

Based on the history and description it appears to be irritable bladder syndrome or overactive bladder (OAB) in association with anxiety and GERD (Gastroesophageal Reflux disease ).

In case of OAB, causes like urinary tract infection and urinary tract stone disease should be looked for and ruled out first as they are the common correctable causes especially if the presentation is acute/ short lived.

If none of the infectious or kidney stone causes appear then anticholinergic meds like solifenacin with escitalopram (to counter social anxiety disorder ) can be advised in consult with your doctor.

Detailed Answer:
Hello again.

If its the bowels that make the trip to bathroom recurrently then its likely to irritable bowel syndrome.

Rifaximin , mebeverine and sucralfate are initial options for treatment. As per response these medications can be changed.

Anxiolytics like bromezepam, levosulpride, eucarbon containing activated charcoal and fiber supplementation are also used as part of treatment.

You may discuss these options with your doctor.
