Ok im new to this, about two weeks ago i woke up from a deep sleep and was gasping for air and felt like i had to throw up but nothing would come up, I thought i just had some indigestion. Well ever since then I feel like I can not burp and it takes a while for me to burp, when i do it releases some of the discomfort, but not all, im like this thru out the whole day even without eating. It is worrying me alot, i went and saw a gi doctor today, he wants me to do a endoscopy im scared of that. Im only 32 yrs old I dont think i should be sick from all of this, also at night time when im sleeping, i feel like im throwing up but its not coming up at all... when i wake up i feel very bloted, has anyone ever had any of these symptoms if so please tell me what I can do, and is this something I should be worried about??? They put me on privoset but i heard that it gives people heart palpulations so im scared to take this. please help
 
Hi there,

I've had that happen to me quite a few times. Recently it happened while I was going through some anxiety. I felt like it was hard to breathe and that there was a burp stuck that wouldn't release. I tried and tried to get it out and it felt like I needed to throw up. It's a horrible feeling. Usually I'm able to burp just fine, but there have been times like that where I need to burp, but can't. I heard that sticking your finger in your throat will release the air, but I wasn't willing to try that because it's pretty gross. I was scared I would throw up. I'm not sure if this is the same thing that you're going through, but you might want to get a endoscopy just to make sure there isn't anything wrong. Are you having heartburn? I suffer from that everyday. I hope you start to feel better!

I don't get heartburn, nothing is burning just at night time i feel like im throwing up but its going right back down. I'm also scared because my dad had esphugus cancer. But they say that in most cases men get it and also im to young... I'm scared to have an endoscopy done, because i am scared of being put under anestisa im scared that I wont wake up... Im so over all of this it is stressing me out so much
 
Pellis, Have the endoscopy done! It is really not a bad test at all. Some doctors put you right out, and some just give you sedation. Ask for the sedation if you are really scared of not waking up. I've had it done both ways and it's not bad. It is far better to know what you are dealing with than not to know. The doctors can see if you have any damage to your esophagus BEFORE it can progress to something worse. My Dad had cancer of the esophagus too and that is a cancer you do not want to fool around with. The trick is to catch damage before it can turn to cancer. My two endoscopies luckily showed no damage. I did have some gastritis in my stomach, for which I have been taking Nexium for the past 8 months.
