Sounds like acid reflux or GERD. Talk to your doctor about getting a medication for this, such as nexium or prilosec, which are really quite safe and will help you feel MUCH better.

I would recommend a low acid diet, but sometimes it doesn't matter what you eat...you will have the problems anyways.

Or maybe tonsils? Have you had them removed?

hmmm when i came across this post i wonder if my doctor misdiagnosed me, a few days ago my daughter became ill with a runny nose and a little cough, then my throat swelled up and i couldnt swallow, becasue i am in mexico right now the paranoya of swine flu automatically entered my mind so i went to the doctor n she said i had an infection on the left side ofmy throat and gave 3 different tpyes of medicines to take, when i got home i felt weird when i looked at the back of the box n i t said not take if u r pregnat so for piece of mind i went ot the local drugsotre boght a 6.00 test and guess what it was positive, im glad i didnt take the medication she gave me, but i've also had very bad lower back pain for a couple of weeks and am worried that all of these r signs of a miscarriage, anywho have some answers? Tommorrow i have another appointment with her to have a blood test done to make sure i am pregnat.

You can have lower back pain for a great number of reasons besides pregnancy. You can also feel a little fatigued in the beginning of a pregnancy, and especially with the sickness you've had and the traveling, it could be completely unrelated to your pregnancy. I wish you the best!
