Possible acid: Some people swallow air when they speak or chew- which could cause some of your complaints. Acid reflux would be another possible cause- especially with you feeling like vomiting. Try a short course of ranitidine (zantac) 150 mg 2 times a day for a week. If it helps the answer is "acid" -and you should see your MD.
