I always feel a burn in my throat and feel like i must vomit? tums (calcium carbonate) help but im going through a lot of them. what can i do long term?

Sounds Like Reflux: Sounds like you have reflux. This is a relatively common problem where stomach acid refluxes upwards into your throat, causing the symptoms you describe. If it is bad, it can cause some moer serious problems as well. Prilosec is an otc med that works much better than tums (calcium carbonate). Try that first. If it continues, see your doctor.
