burning in stomach,sweating, vomiting

during th month of May,  I have been experiencing a burning in the upper part of my stomach.  It gradually gets worse.  I began to sweat and feel really weak. The only thing that brings me relief is forcing myself to vomit and taking an acid reducer.  I am usually lying down when it begins.  I cant remeber it ever happening when I am up and about.

Hi,
If acid reducing medications are giving relief, then it is highly possible you are having peptic ulcer disease. An upper GI endoscopy may be done for confirmation.
