i have been diagnosed with gerd, and i have a poor diet, i have dealt with heartburn and indegestion alll of my life so i am quite used to it. however, for the past week or so, i have been so extremely sick to my stomach, it is interrupting my life. i either feel so bloated i need to puke, or so much burning i need to puke. i rarely actually puke except when my gerd wakes me in the middle of the night. but lately i have been forcing myself to puke just to relieve the pain. it doesn't help for long. it doesn't matter what i put in my mouth, be it crackers or pizza, milk or pepsi, iit all makes me immediately sick. i take otc heartburn meds and previcid on a regular basis on none of them help any more. it doesn't matter what time of day it is or what i am doing it just hurts all the time. also in the past 3 days or so, i have been experiencing vertigo or something of the sort, when i move my head or face a certain way my head and sometimes hands go numb. it's very weird and i have only experienced that one other time in my life. i am concerned something may be seriously wrong with me. and i don't have great med ins. any ideas?
