Hello! Welcome to HealthcareMagic!
GERD is not related to excess sweating and frequent urination.of course,anxiety can cause both.the following are some conditions where we come across such symptoms :
1) Diabetes mellitus.
2) Thyroid diseases.
3) Autonomic nervous system dysfunction.
4) Low blood sugar levels.
5) Malignancy. If you are not using any medication for anxiety, please do start as directed by your psychiatrist. First we need to rule anxiety out as the cause of these symptoms. Also once you get the following investigations done :
1) Fasting, post-prandial blood sugars, HBA1C.
2) Complete blood count.
3) ESR the above ones help us to rule out the causes other than anxiety. Please upload the test results. You can otherwise go for a consultation of a physician for a detailed examination and specific diagnosis.
Hope my explanation is clear. Any further queries, please let me know. It's my pleasure to guide you. Thank you for the query.
Take care
