Horrible day please help:(

Hi, I only have slight emetophobia, but my boyfriend has severe emetophobia. I'm surprised he is still even dating me, as I developed acid reflux during our year and a half together, and it really freaks him out even thoug I've never v* from it. I'm really freaked out because I am basically the only person he comes to when he is anxious or there's an issue. (sometimes his dad is helpful but he works a lot during the day). Last night his 12 year old sister v* a few times, and I talked him through it and he was able to fall asleep (we were texting as he didn't want to wake everyone in his house). I've been up all night (it's 6:30am) feeling extremely n* and like I am going to v*. It still hasn't gone away, and I know it's not anxiety..it's related to my acid reflux. I've never had an issue from it but I feel like I might. I just don't know how to tell him as he is really counting on me to be with him today. I don't want to make his anxiety worse, which it will. If I don't see him today he will beg to know why until I tell him, so I kknow I can't hide it. I have to tell him, I just don't know how. Please help! Ugh sorry for the incoherent post. I'm so tired.

Do you have anything you can take? Tums, Zantac or anything? That would help alot

How are you feeling now?

And if it will make his anxiety worse, then maybe it's not best to be with him. But leave it up to him to make the decision if you guys should help each other

I had been taking antacids all night but they don't help much.

A lot happened since my post...I ended up calling my GI specialist who had just gotten in some test results and apparently my body is producing acid too fast for any antacids to help. So I have to go in the morning for an Endoscopy (terrified!). I told my boyfriend and he had a slight meltdown over the endoscopy but we talked and calmed each other down and everything is fine now. I ended up feeling good later in the day but we chose to webcam instead of actually seeing each other. It worked out pretty well
