Welcome to Acid Reflux

talulaj asked:


I am on medication to control my GERD but just about every morning I am nauseated at verying degrees of severity (some mornings it is just annoying and others I can’t move for fear of vomiting). Is this normal? I have had the testing done and other than the lining of my esophagus being erroded my doctor does not see anything else wrong other han the GERD. And no I am not pregnant.
