Can reflux cause vomiting?
Sometimes my acid reflux gets so intense that I feel like I'm going to throw up, and a few times I actually have. Is vomiting a common symptom of severe reflux, or is that something else?

Yes, severe acidity can make you feel extremely nauseous and lead to throwing up, especially after a heavy meal. I used to suffer from this constantly until I started drinking ginger water and eating very small portions. Please try to keep your meals light and consult a doctor.

When your digestion is poor, reflux can definitely trigger vomiting. As someone with high blood pressure, I know how stress and bad sleep worsen both acidity and BP. Make sure you get regular health checkups and consult your family doctor for proper guidance.

Over the years, I have seen that eating very late at night and sleeping immediately is the biggest cause of morning vomiting and reflux. Keep a gap of three hours between dinner and bedtime, and eat simple, home-cooked food. It will bring you great relief, trust my experience.

Oh, absolutely, if I overindulge in heavy biryani and extra spicy gravies, my stomach reacts by throwing it all back up. Reflux can trigger a very strong gag reflex when the acid hits your throat. It is the body's way of saying 'please stop overeating'!

Please be very careful if you are vomiting frequently due to reflux. I ignored constant vomiting for months and it ended up damaging my esophagus lining, causing severe pain and bleeding. Please see a gastroenterologist immediately to get this treated properly.

My sleep schedule is completely ruined, and sleeping late with a stomach full of fast food has made me throw up more than once. Acid reflux is no joke when it keeps you up all night. Save yourself the trouble and see a doctor for some proper medication.
