Reflux vs. Nausea?

[mxw08]

Is it easy to tell the difference between acid reflux and nausea? I think I have the former, but I keep having major anxiety attacks because I worry that I'm nauseated.

It feels like there's a lump in my throat and then sometimes I'll get weird tastes that really freak me out.

Ugh, adding onto the above, that freak out would be going on right now. I keep thinking I'm like... retasting stuff I ate like an hour ago and I'm worried something's coming up. My stomach doesn't hurt, but my throat and those tastes and stuff are really freaking me out. Help!

It does sound like some srt of indigestion, but sometimes if you eat something with a strong flavour you can taste it for a few hours aftwerwards for no particular reason.

The lump in the throat feeling can be caused by anxiety so hard as it is when you're in the middle of a panic, trying to relax would probably help that to go away.

If it's any consolation, not that i've v* much in my life (touch wood that continues!) I can remember every occasion and not once did it ever begin with tasting what I ate earlier.

N* is more of an off feeling, a somethings not quite right feeling, stomach ache and I can't describe it properly but you just KNOW you are going to v* it's so different from the frequent anxiety n* we get.

i have acid reflux and it has just gotten a lot worse lately so i am finally beginning to be able to tell the difference....but sometimes it will scare me for a second! thats what it sounds like to me tho....sometimes ill even get a burning feeling in my stomach and freak out but thats deff from the acid reflux and i get the weird tastes sometimes which scares me more than anything!!

but yeah like paulinek said....when you feel n*
YOU KNOW IT!
even if you sometimes think you dont know the difference between n* and an upset stomach....when the time comes and its real n* something in your brain just lets you know that FAST! and its NOTHING comparable to the anxiety n* i know a lot of us get!
