I just woke up sicker than before. Is GERD going to kill me?

I'm vomiting everything I eat. I am having trouble keeping food down. I have horrible direa, and I'm vomiting stomach acid. My chest hurts so much. My insides. I don't know what to do. Or eat. I can't.

Please be calm. Avoid Tea, coffee, cold drinks for now.

For a month, Make a daily chart and find the food that make this situation worse. Avoid those food.
With a healthy lifestyle and knowledge about your body, GERD will go away.

I'd get to a doctor, quick, as in go to an emergency room at a hospital. What you describe could be a number of things and none of them pleasant.

@Ontheroad I was recently in the emergency room few days ago for this.

@ScarletWitch Okay, but if what you are experiencing continues you will in addition to all of what is going on, get so dehydrated that your blood chemistry will go crazy and then... well, your system can crash. That happened to me and I ended up hospitalized for nearly a week. I hate emergency rooms, but if I were you, I'd go back.

Hopefully they started you on a PPI, sometimes takes several days to work. Don’t force food, do intake liquids - even if ice pops / ice chips - no caffeine, carbonation, alcohol. Smoking increases stomach acids, if you do smoke / vape taper. When ready - bland, alkaline, soft small qty foods. Have they tried a bland, soft diet for you? Are you sleeping on an incline or raised bed ? Lying flat can increase the amount of acid rising in your esophagus. Follow up with your doctor / nurse line if not better and or can not hold liquids.
I struggle with bad rounds of this with lots of vomiting too😭 I miss being young and able to stomach anything.

Please see a dr soon. Dehydration is a real danger. Sending hugs your way. 🤗🤗🤗

Maybe you should see a Dr and see if they can prescribe you something?

@Lonelyandyb I have a medicine I have to take every morning. And if I have pain in the chest & heart I have to drink this awful chalky stuff. But it helps but gives me the worse belly pain.

@ScarletWitch sorry you have to go through that. I hope things improve. If they don’t or get worse , I would try and go to a Medical Centre or hospital/ED again

@ScarletWitch It would be Magnesium Hydroxide and Aluminum Hydroxide I guess.
