Acid Reflux: You are a Caring Niece! I understand your concern. Due to heavy drinking, your Aunt likely had Alcohol Gastritis. Acid reflux and vomiting for a week is possibly due to infection. Stress or medication can cause heartburn : • Pain relievers • High blood pressure medications • Nitroglycerin • Anxiety medications • Antidepressants Have aunt see her Family Physician for Diagnosis and Treatment
