Can bad acid reflux cause vomiting?
Dealing with bad acid reflux for a few weeks now, especially after spicy food. Sometimes it gets so severe that I feel like vomiting. Is it possible for very strong acid reflux to cause you to throw up?

Yes, chronic acid reflux can definitely lead to vomiting if the stomach acid severely irritates your throat and esophagus. As someone with high BP, I know that stress and bad lifestyle habits make both issues worse. Please get a proper medical checkup.

I used to feel so helpless and anxious every single night because my acid reflux was so bad it made me throw up. It is an awful feeling, but please know it can be managed with proper treatment. Do see a gastroenterologist to get some relief.

Yes, this is quite common. When stomach acid travels up, it can trigger the gag reflex, leading to vomiting. I always suggest keeping your dinner very light, avoiding lying down immediately after meals, and consulting a doctor for a proper diagnosis.

Please be very careful with this. I ignored severe acid reflux and vomiting for months, which ended up damaging my esophagus lining and causing ulcers. Do not rely on home remedies; consult a specialist immediately for an endoscopy if required.

I completely understand how terrifying it is to wake up choking and vomiting from acid reflux. It used to give me major health anxiety every day. Please don't worry, once you see a doctor and start the right treatment, it will get much better.
