I have a watery taste in my mouth but cannot throw up. Please help.

Question

Hi doctor,

I have bad pain at the end of my esophagus at the beginning of my stomach, and I feel like there is a knot there, and I have got this pain right after eating dinner last night. I only ate four bites of dinner and stopped because the upper part of my stomach started hurting. I felt like I wanted to throw up. I even got that watery taste in the back of my mouth like I wanted to throw up, but I never did. Now the pain subsided somewhat, but I had a mini muffin about 2 hours ago, and I am in the same predicament. How do I get myself to throw up?

Hi,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

I understand your concern.

You have gastric reflux due to abnormal relaxation of the lower part of the esophagus. It is a very common condition that requires some medications and lifestyle modifications to be controlled.

My advice:

1. Maalox sachet after heavy meals.

2. Pantoprazole 20 mg tablet once daily in the morning for two weeks.

3. Eat light meals and avoid lying in a supine position after meals.

I have a watery taste in my mouth but cannot throw up. Please help.
