Hi Mike,

I have had the same symptoms for the past week. When I feel like I'm going to throw up, I also break out in a horrible sweat. I'm thinking it's GERD but there is always the possibility that it could also be heart related. I've tried zantac for a few days, that didn't help. I just got some prilosec yesterday and I felt good last evening but had an episode this morning. I've also been taking tums and pepto.

Like you, I'm not sure what is going on. I'm doing the wait and see if it improves for a few more days before calling my doctor. If you think it may be heart related, you should see your doctor right away. Most have EKG machines in their office. Heart disease has so many different symptoms that it's hard to judge without having tests done. One factor is family history. My husband had his first bypass at age 37. His symptoms came on suddenly and with crushing chest pain. His father died in his early 40's from a heart attack and his mother has also had 2 bypasses. My father had heart disease so I do have some concerns also.

I hope you feel better soon.
JB
