Reflux or Anxiety

My daughter is 11 and have moved houses and schools in last 3 years. She started to get this painful feeling in the center of the chest/ sternum/ solar plexus. She tries to burp and then it releases pressure a bit but more comes and increase the pressure. She could be doing ok but then an unpleasant thought can cause the pain again. The pain happens after eating and stays for 10-15 minutes. I am confused. The GP seems to think anxiety is in play here and one of them is bringing the other one on. She is also pre-puberty so not sure if hormones are at play as well. Has anyone seen this with their kids. She didnt have anything until 2 years ago and now its every day and many times a day. She is in middle school, new school, and is struggling with making friends. She is highly sensitive but all her reflux pain also point to real deal and not just what she is making it up in her head. I am worried sleepless. Pls help.

My DD is 7 and has had reflux on and off for a year or so. It is sometimes brought on by something emotional but not always, sometimes comes out of the blue. The reflux phases seem to coincide with growth spurts, is your DD growing fast, I guess so given her age?. Gaviscon has helped somewhat.
