Your doctor needs to perform a test on your esophagus. I have GERD..gestational esphagitis reflux disease. It is a form of acid reflux but it causes more problems then regular acid reflux. I did the same thing. I couldn't eat without vomiting & I also stayed sick 24/7..
Here is a couple of things you can try, worked for me , lets hope it works for you:
Raise the head of your bed into an elavated position, my husband put two -4x4 blocks to elavate our bed and
try this OTC medicine: Maalox antacid BARRIER, when you chew them up they will make a foam in your mouth/ you have to drink at least 1/2 glass of water it will make the foam coat your esphagus & your stomach as it washes it down. I made the mistake the first time & didn't use the water & it made me sick, I actually thought I had wasted my money but now I know it didn't. I am supposed to take nexium..it cost me $100 for 30 pills. Can't afford that so I made compromises.
Sorry so long but just trying to help you out. Good Luck.. : )

you normally must pass on whatever like prilosec day-to-day. that solved my heartburn main issue. you must manage this, due to the fact that steady reflux permits the acid for your throat to consume away at your esophagus. When that occurs, your frame is consistently looking to fix the cells, and in that procedure you run a particularly prime threat of constructing melanoma. Go see the Dr in case you have well wellness coverage, as there's a conventional prilosec available in the market now that's most effective $five in a few coverage plans. Otherwise, simply check out happening over-the-counter prilosec for a even as and spot if it is helping. Also, carry your head even as snoozing, generally only a brick below every leg of your headboard could make a change. Eat your final meal or snack good earlier than mattress-time, no less than a few hours. The coughing was once because of aspiration, in which your belly acid/contents observed its approach into your airway, which reacts very strongly to the overseas substance and makes you cough for hours later on. Good success
