Heart burn!!! Scared :(

[Alhope4]

As I am about to go to sleep I start feeling heartburn.. I never get heartburn really so my brain started thinking. The amazing "what if" this is the time I V*? I havent V* in over 12 years and the thought TERRIFIES me.. Ive already taken a klonopin because I am just sick of being so scared and it letting ruin a good night (which it always does) why do I all the sudden have heartburn? I took 2 tums and it helped a little but i cant stop thinking that i am going to V*... I was fine all night up until it was time for bed. Once the light was off my brain started thinking.. What if what if blah blah. So frusterating please in need of some support!!!!!! Im so frustrated with this!

And of course now I am "naseous" which I know is from my nerves but it doesnt make me feel any better. I sometimes almost wish I would just V* (exposure therapy) just to get it over with because i know eventually one of these days it will happen and i will survive... Even just typing that tho was scary i hate being so scared of something so human/natural. Im always just laying here thinking thinking and thinking.. I dont know how to tell my brain enough is enough already! need support!

Heartburn rarely leads to vomiting I had it ALOT when i was preg, and never v. Didnt have mornin sickiness either! Anyway, heart burn gets worse when ur laying down. So next timre, u should try sleeping kind of allevated.. Also, buy some TUMS or Rolaids to keep by your bed.

Agreed with Valen! You will NOT v*, I promise you. I also suffer from horrible heartburn a lot since I have GERD and a suspected Hiatus Hernia. Yes, I also feel incredibly nauseous when I have heartburn, but I have never v* from it. You will be absolutely fine, I promise. Feel better soon.

I get some kind of reflux everyday. Seeing a specialist in a couple of days. But night times are always worse, I think because by the time I wake up with it, iis already really bad and it causes me to be nauseous. But I find that the nausea is only constant and its almost like its just a side effect from the heartburn and it wont cause me to be sick, although at the same time my brain kicks in and I start wondering things, and then I feel trapped beacase its night time and I feel I cant leave the house and that's when things REALLY start to get worse. So the only reason why its not going away and your getting nauseas is because of your anxiety. (Like me). Nausea does happen with heartburn and reflux some of the time, but its never or extrmeley rare enough to actually make you sick.
