I had heartburn (I think) yesterday. Was no big deal, I took some pepto and that had absolutely no effect on it. The unusual things were, it wasn't the usually burning feeling it felt like some one was airing up a balloon in my chest and around 10 at night I just out of nowhere started throwing up. Had no symptoms of vomiting at all then bam vomited 5 times. I woke up off and on all night and ended up having to take my tounge ring out because my throat and mouth were so swollen it hurt to have it in. I woke up this morning with the same chest pains and now aching muscles but the worst now is my throat which when I swallow burns worse than anything I've ever felt and it also this time hurts even my tounge to swallow. Like every time I swallow someone is grabbing my tounge and trying to rip it out. what do you think this is, it's hard to believe it just usual heartburn. Tried pepto not help tried Pepcid seems that it might be working, tried chloraseptic and all it does is burn like crazy on my throat instead of numbing it.
