Is nausea a good indicator of acid reflux?

Not necessarily.  Nausea can be caused by many things including a stomach virus, sinus drainage (I get it bad in the morning when I wake because my sinus drains), or even pregnancy (morning sickness isn't always in the morning).  My husband has been diagnosed with acid reflux and he suffered from heartburn, chest pain and even shooting pain in his arm.  When we went to the emergency room, he was immediately treated as though he was having a heart attack, including aspirin and glycerin, EKG, etc.  He never got an acidic taste.\n\nDon't walk, RUN, to the nearest hospital, you could be ripe for a heart attack (yes, vomiting can accompany a heart attack).  Get a diagnosis from a professional.  This is nothing to play with or guess about.  Maybe they will just tell you to get a box of Prilosec and see your family physician in a few days, or they may do a stress test to make sure there is nothing wrong with your heart.\n\nAt least, you will be able to stop worrying about what may or may not be.

Have you been to the doctor?\n\nYou may want to keep a food diary. You may find through this diary, that there are foods that you are allergic to...I am lactose intolerant. I know that if I drink milk, eat yogurt, pizza, or anything with cheese or milk products, I will get nauseaous.\n\nThere are certain foods with a high acid content, Orange Juice and tomato sauce for example, that could cause nausea.\n\nYou may have an ulcer or irritable bowel syndrome, or some other digestive disorder.\n\nI strongly recommend you go to the doctor to get to the bottom of this issue.

When you vomit, stomach acid comes up into the esophagus and burns giving you the same effect as acid reflux. You may not actually have acid reflux disease, but the sensation is not pleasant. When I am sick like that, I will chew on a Rolaids or Tums to help kill the effect of the acid. I hope that you get to feeling better.

B.R.A.T. diet (breads, rice, applesauce, teas) and phenergan if you are feeling nausea. if it is more than three days and your running a low grade temp; see your Doc to R/O a more serious Dx.

None. Go see your doctor to be sure you don't have anything more serious. Stomach cancer often feels like an ulcer. So does gastric reflux disease. Stomach ulcers can be serious, too, especially if they start bleeding. Go see a doctor to be sure it isn't anything serious.

First what are you going thourgh at this time? are you under a lot of stress and tension that alone can put your stomach in a tailspin.\n\nSecond what are you eating a lot of fat salt dairy if eaten alot can cause heartburn, direrrah, and just makes you feel sick.\n\nThird have you gone to a dr and get some feeback on why your stomach is so sick. Try to relax and not get so upset if that is the case, worry causes harm and it is not good.\nA nice cup of hot tea, soft music, a good nap. comforting scrpiture Psalm 23 for example, deep breathing all these things can help your stomach not "be in knots" I know from past experince and please feel better.

Heartburn, diarrehea, constipation? Those are the 3 that some to mind. Vomiting could also be one, but that's more of a sour stomach.

It's stomach acid.  That means that you have no substance in your stomach to throw up.  That's what eats away at your esophagus.

First, don't panic.  Second, yes, by all means see your doctor.  These symptoms could be various things, the least of which could be gastric reflux or hiatal hernia.  It could also be something more serious.  \n\nCall your doctor's office and ask to speak directly to the physician, physician's assistant or a nurse.  Explain your symptoms in as much detail as you can.  They will get you in immediately if they feel it is urgent.  \n\nGood luck!

I don't know but ginger is supposed to help nausea. Like ginger tea or ginger snaps.

Mints work! Trust me.  Do not drink milk, it is too thick and may curdle on your stomach.  Milk is better if you are having heartburn.  In addition to mints, nibble on saltines.

Some fruits, especially citrus fruit, contains a lot of acid and can be hard to digest, and if you're prone to acid reflux, it can be very hard on your stomach.  Try making your own blends and experiment with fruit juices that your stomach has less of a problem with. There are some reduced acid juice options you might want to try. You might also want to try chewing a Tums after every serving. The added calcium is a bonus anyway.

I mix about 1/2 teaspoon of apple cider vinegar in a little glass of water.  It works fast and amazingly well.  My mom always hands out peppermint candy when someone complains of heartburn.  Also, chew chew chew your food really well as digestion actually begins in the mouth.  Drinking too much liquid with your food can dilute your stomach acid.

If you can right after you eat  try walking around for an hour or so non-stop, get to a park if you can, try it for 3 days straight.  If it helps, tell your doctor it may be a form of acid reflux.
