Do I have acid reflux?

Question

Recently, but very occasionally, i have been feeling like something is stuck in my throat or that something is going up my throat, but nothing was there. While that happens, my chest really hurts-is it heartburn? I just almost threw up a minute ago, it was in my mouth and everything. I was bending down to plug something in, and i guess i burped, but i started to vomit. It never left my mouth, but shortly after, my mouth started watering like i was going to barf again. Does this have anything to do with acid reflux, and does it sound like i even have it?

My mom has acid reflux, and doctors thought my sister did also, but they were wrong. My dad doesn't have it.

o yea, and other than a bit of a cough, i am not sick. nor have i had any nausea.

and just about 10 minutes ago when i threw up, that was the first time that has ever happened to me.

Answer 1

I wonder how old you are? It could be acid reflux, or your gall bladder, I had the same symptons for both. You need to go to the dr.

Answer 2

It does sound like it, even the coughing. Make sure you tell a doctor, because if it is, you'll have to be watched for damage. It might even be corrected, if it's being caused by a hiatal hernia.

Answer 3

Possibly. I have it but not as bad as you (if that's what it is).

Go to www.webmd.com - search "acid reflux" and/or use their interactive symptoms checker. Cool site, totally free, not a shill for drug companies.

Answer 4

It sounds like you may have acid reflux, but only your doctor can diagnose it.

Answer 5

well.....................you might have reflux....ask your doc to order an upper GI series to rule out this and other problems such as esophogeal cancer......also,have him do a H.pylori test....good luck...................
