Is this heartburn??

Question

I've never had heartburn or acid reflux in my life. I thought it was supposed to be painful or, well, burn-y!!!

What I'm experiencing is, if I eat in the couple hours prior to going to bed, when I lay down to sleep I feel on the verge of vomiting. I'm not nauseous at all, I just get that sensation in my throat where it feels like there's puke about to come out. It doesn't burn, or feel acidic, or hurt or anything like that. If I prop up against a bunch of pillows it helps/goes away, but then I don't sleep very well because I'm uncomfortable.

Anybody else experience this? For sufferers of heartburn, is this what it feels like? Googling heartburn and acid reflux makes it sound like that's NOT what's going on, but what do I know. 😔

Answer

I get that a lot and 9 times out of 10 actually get sick from it. But it was very different then my nausea that I also get often.  I was wondering if it was heartburn but anyone I ask said it should burn.

Answer

Yep that's reflux

Answer

I know exactly what you mean! That's what happens to me when I eat certain things. My doc gave me a prescription for Zantac. I take one, that feeling goes away and I'm able to get some sleep. I've figured out now that things with tomato trigger it for me so now I take the pill prior to eating or just after so it's in my system before bed and I can go straight to sleep with no issue. Hope this helps 😊

Answer

It's avariation of reflux, mine starts as chest pain, then burns, I get bile in my mouth or throat and then I want to puke

Ahhh fun

Answer

Yep I've had it with both my pregnancies and have to take prescription medication for it.

Answer

It's acid reflux but your acid just isn't burning you. Which is definitely a good thing. I get it where it sometimes burns and sometimes it doesn't. It feels like your throwing up in your mouth but your not.

Answer

Totally heartburn. I've had it all pregnancy. 
:( hang in there momma

Answer

Same feelings! I try not to eat two hours before bed and don't lay down after eating.

Answer

Definitely sounds like reflux. It doesn't always burn for me either but sometimes it does.
