Constant Burping, Sore Throat, Bloating, Cough

[scyphozoa]

i have felt great up until now, and im in good physical condition. For the past few days i''ve had been constantly burping. Whenever i drink something, i burp a few times. sometimes the burp motion happens and i can't get it out. i also feel pressure in my upper abdomen to burp, but when i try, its almost as if im dryheaving. throughout the day i occasionally feel nausea and lightheaded, and i get the feel that im going to throw up but never do. sometimes the nauseas feeling turns into a stomach ache. my bowel movements have been are more diarrhea like the normal.during this whole time if also been experiencing bloating and a sore throat.

its been finals week for me at school so ive been a little stressed stay up really late to complete assignments and im wondering if this could be affecting my health.

whats wrong with me!?!

I've been having similar symptoms coughing bloated abdominal pain that radiates to the back,belching, and loose stools. The other night after a coughing fit I blacked out and fell face first into the coffee table. I went to the dr today and he said I had gerd bronchitis and strip throat. I can't eat I can't sleep. I wouldn't wish this on my worst enemy. Anyone have any incite on what I'm going through. I appreciate any feedback

Everything you listed is classic gerd. It could be other things, but gerd seems to be likely. What can cause gerd? From what you have said, stress could be the main culprit. What were you drinking when you get bloated? If it's anything carbonated or with caffiene in it then it makes the acid reflux worse. By not eating anything late at night before bed and adjusting what you eat, you can minimize it most likely.

You could also try prilosec which anyone can buy OTC at the pharmacy.
