Heartburn can cause nausea yes?

[Chemistria]

Just a quick thread, it's not massively urgent but just want to know this is heartburn (I should know , on my second pregnancy now but everyone seems to describe it differently)

I used to just describe it as feeling a hot burning in your upper chest/ throat and if you burped it's likely liquid or food would come up (yuck) I drank shitloads of Gaviscon last pregnancy and also this one so far.

But 2 weeks ago I had an awful sickness and D bug which had me admitted to hospital for severe dehydration overnight, anyway since then my heartburn seems to be accompanied by nausea all the time which is freaking me out as I'm scared of being sick again.

Is this normal? I literally take Gaviscon with me everywhere now as as soon as I eat or drink anything I can feel that acidic feeling and always feel sick too , the G does seem to help but just checking this is heartburn.

I had heartburn much earlier with this pregnancy than my first. It does make me feel sick and burp a lot. In fact, it's a mix of heartburn and acid reflux. The only think that settles it for me are Rennies. I can't use gaviscon as it makes me feel sick.

Oh I thought heartburn and acid reflux was the same. Maybe I have both then as I definitely get acid coming up! I also had it a lot earlier this time.

I burp, retch, and feel nauseous with heartburn and acid reflux. I'm now on acid suppressants (Ranitidine) from the GP though 😊

I use the 2 in 1 sachets by gaviscon. They work a treat for me... along with half a pint of milk at 3am :)

I get acid reflux and it definitely makes me feel sick. Mostly at 2am so I can't sleep.

I cannot recommend Ranitidine enough. One tablet lasts twelve hours so easily sees me through the night. Admittedly, I still don't sleep because I can't get comfortable / get too hot / need a million wees, but at least I'm not being strangled from the inside by my own stomach acid during the night anymore!

Thanks all, least I know it's normal! ravioli gosh that sounds awful I don't have it that bad but if it gets worse I will go to the docs, I've had a curry tonight and already ripped open a couple of sachets of G. Advance to prepare.

I thought acid reflux was 'heartburn' too...will now be googling the difference! My acid reflux really makes me feel sick, eating and not being remotely close to hungry helps. I'm 20 weeks and get nausea still but I'm been 10 days clear of sickness woo!

I believe acid reflux is different as it doesn't necessarily cause any pain in your chest. I've been suffering since very early on and find the gaviscon dual action tablets work best for me.

Sarah that's good! Think my sickness eased about then although hard to tell as I was on Cyclizine.

Spin I think actually maybe I've just got acid reflux then as I don't have pain at all just a hot feeling when I can feel it coming up my throat.

Only 7 weeks of pregnancy left but I might ask for Gaviscon on repeat prescription as I'm buying so much of it.
