Constant vomiting and nausea
For about a month or so, I have had issues off an on for weeks at a time with vomiting, nausea, and diarrhea. All of these times I thought maybe it was the flu so I didn't go to the doctor. But yesterday, November 4, I decided to visit the doctor. She diagnosed me with acid reflux. I don't understand because I don't get heartburn as much as I feel like you should with acid reflux. I am just in constant pain from nausea and I continuously vomit. It isn't even after certain times. I just throw up.
