Sounds like acid reflux. My husband has it and your symptoms sound exactly the same. There are a lot of over the counter meds you can take. He takes Zantac. Try it to see if you get any relief because most likely that is exactly what you have. Good luck!!

Symptoms of Acid Reflux Disease:
heartburn
regurgitation
nausea to name a few

However, there can be some very severe symptoms as well. It can cause serious ulcers and internal inflamation. It can create a constant cough and even asthma in some cases. But the worst effect can be a cancerous condition called Barrett's esophagus.

If you are experiencing any of these symptoms you MUST get immediate help!

Sound like acid reflux, you should try an over the counter medication like prilosec, or zantac, follow the directions on the package and if this doesn't reduce your symptoms, see a doctor, as you may need a different medication.

heartburn or acid reflux. Sometimes you'll wake up puking on yourself too. Without knowing anything else, its most likely caused by your weight and poor posture.

GERD gastroesophageal reflux disease. aka heartburn. Exceedingly common.

Change your diet to avoid foods that trigger it. You can take over the counter heart burn medicine like zantac. If it goes on for years see a doctor as there is a serious complication if it damages your throat.

Change your diet. Eat more natural foods. Raw vegetables. Less meat (especially pork and red meat). Less processed food. More whole grains. Excersize!

Sometimes the acid in your stomach can be over-producing. Look into it with doc. He/she can help.
