Indigestion

I have lately been noticing problems with my stomach lately.

It used to be that with spicy foods, I could take a Tums and the acid indigestion would go away.

Nowadays, it doesn't matter what I eat, I get a feeling of acid problems in the back of my throat and soon afterwards I become nauseous. This constant plague has been going on for the past couple of weeks or so.

In the meantime I work out a lot and work at a job that requires a lot of moving with not much break. So probably 10 hours out of my day I'm busy.

Does anyone know what might be causing this? I know it's vague but I'm starting to get worried. I was eating Cheerios today and it still caused this problem. And that's as bland as it gets.

Thank you for your time.

Hi,
How are you?
It seems to be a bout of GERD or gastro esophageal reflux disease. There is acid reflux in the throat which can come up to the mouth. It is frequently associated with nausea and heartburn.
I would suggest you take OTC antacids like nexium. Drink lots of water, keep your head elevated at night by using a pillow, eat your dinner two hrs before bedtime, and avboid carbonated drinks and outside food. Do keep us posted!

This could be caused by GRD, acid refux, or poor diet.  Your doctor could help you.
I have had acid reflux for two years and my doctor told me to take Prilosec OTC.  I have been taking this for about a year now and I have no problems with my acid reflux.
Only your doctor can tell you what is causing your problem and what is the best treatment plan for you.
