Hi everyone... my first post! 
This has been a very intermittent problem for me, it usually happens once every couple months or so, but in the past week it has happen 4 times and it's starting to scare me
Here's what happens:
About 2 hours after I eat a big meal, doesn't seem to matter what it is, healthy or otherwise I get very bad heartburn, tightness in my chest, bad pains, I get dizzy, nauseated, clammy, chills and get very light headed... I sturable to the bathroom and I'm over the toilet vomiting for the next 20 - 30 minutes, sometimes all of those symptoms will stay until my stomach is completely empty and then they immediately go away, instantly, after emptying my stomach... it's very strange and it's freaking me out!
I could vomit like 8 times in a row and after each time the pain and all the symptoms will stay until the 9th magical time, then all symptoms instantly go away.
It's so painful it puts me into tears every time. It either happens after lunch or supper, but never twice a day, only once. Then afterwarRAB I cough uncontrollably, probably because of the stomach acid in my throat.
Today I went to see a doctor at a walk-in clinic and he prescribed me Nexium... but does that sound like heartburn or acid reflux? I don't generally get heartburn at all, I only get it when this happens to me! I'm just not sure that Nexium is the right thing for me... any help appreciated, this is a little scary and I'm pretty ignorant on the subject, although I've been reading up on it for the past few days.
Thanks!
