I keep feeling sick and i have a uncomfortable heartburn type feeling.?

I gotta say... this sounds EXACTLY like peptic ulcers!! I was recently diagnosed, and thank GOD for it. Go to a gastroenterologist and have an endoscopy -- that's the ONLY way they can properly diagnose whether you've developed ulcers/to what extent the damage is. I even had Dr's try to persuade me I was being a 'baby' and exagerrating a common case of heartburn... turns out, they were wrong, I was right. Treatment is crucial -- if it gets bad enough, eventually it can perforate the stomach; without immediate surgery, at that stage, it's lethal!!!

And before that.. the worst it gets... the worse life gets. I've been dealing with symptoms of it, now that I look back on it.. almost all my life. Finally it started to wear me down... and wear me down.

Now that I know what it is, curing it isn't so easy to figure out, but at least we've gotten the right diagnosis, finally!

In the meantime -- i.e., immediately! -- avoid antacids, instead try taking H2-inhibitor drugs (over the counter!) like Pepcid, Zantac, Tagamet. If they don't work (or eventually stop working, which is what happened with me), you can move up to trying Prilosec -- though they say it takes a few weeks to start working, I've never found that to be the case -- it works IMMEDIATELY. But it, along with the Rx form -- Nexium -- have some hefty side effects I'm not too fond of.. so though Nexium has become the one medication that can keep my condition under control, it's almost not worth it -- almost... I suppose the crux of it is the fact Nexium & Prilosec -- Proton Pump Inhibitors -- completely shut down the production of gastric acid, which I know is what you need to digest protein.. but uh... I'm not really sure what else... hah.. not exactly an expert.

As I'm now under the care of a gastroenterologist -- and trying my hardest to avoid Nexium, while recuperating -- the main things I've found that help me are:

liquid Bentonite Clay -- you can get it at most vitamin stores, Whole Foods, etc, as well as order it off the internet. Yes, make sure it's for internal use.

Pepto Bismol is supposed to be another means of 'self-medicating' -- and as a kid, I practically worshipped the stuff. Doesn't really do anything for me anymore, but might help you.

Also, as gross as it sounds, CABBAGE JUICE! Preferably, FRESH, RAW cabbage juice! Eew. But, it works. There was a recent study in some respected scientific journal that patients who ingested cabbage juice daily had their ulcers clear up in 11 days, while patients who took the standard medication (PPI's, and antibiotics if you're diagnosed with h.pylori - the cause of most ulcers, so the current theory goes) took something like 40+ days!

Other supplements that might help: Mastic Gum, Aloe Vera, Alfalfa, a product made by the company Vaxa called "Buffer PH" (that does work! But, like everything else with me, only up to a point..)

So go pick up some cabbage, some Bentonite clay, and call a GI dr to set up an endoscopy, stat!

There are some "old-school" anti depressants or anti anxiety medications that can cause throat constriction, but unless you're "of a certain age" you're probably not taking any of them, as doctors prefer to prescribe the newer medications. Other factors could include acid reflux (heartburn) or a congenitally small esophagus. However, since you say this only happens with certain types of medications, and not all the time or with all medications, it seems unlikely that any of those are the problem. You say that it only happens with Aleve or ibuprofen. You go on to say that "Advil" is okay - but as someone else pointed out, Advil is just the brand name for ibuprofen. So it doesn't seem like the medication itself is the problem. This leaves two things: A psychological effect, or the "packaging" and delivery of the Aleve. It's possible that you might have some kind of a subconscious aversion to ibuprofen and Aleve... for instance, maybe you took it once when you were really really super-sick, and now somewhere in the back of your head that medicine is linked with you being sick, and your brain is all "No! No! Not the Aleve! I'll be sick again!" Anxiety attacks are often accompanied by a feeling of something being "stuck in your throat," so that could also explain the feeling that the pill is stuck. But... what are the odds of an over the counter pill triggering an anxiety attack? You know? That seems a little farfetched (unless you are a very anxious person, in which case, maybe not). It seems more likely to me, therefore, that it's a packaging/delivery problem. Perhaps the shape or size of the tablet is uncomfortable for you, whereas other brand names are in different shapes and sizes. Maybe you're even allergic to the dye that they use in the coating, or one of the binder materials that they use to keep the medicine in "pill shape." Since it doesn't seem to be the actual MEDICINE that is causing the problem (you can take Advil but not ibuprofen), it's not going to be a problem with the actual medicine, but something in the way it's put together and presented to your body. You didn't ask for "what can I do" - only "why does this happen" - but I'll add my thoughts on that anyway - if you can take Advil without problems, then do so, and avoid generic ibuprofen. Try another brand name of naproxen sodium and see if you can swallow those pills better than the Aleve brand. If not, then stay away from the naproxen, or see if they offer a liquid or dissolvable form.

Chronic heartburn is usually from acid reflux - stomach acid is getting past the little valve and into your esophagus. You also should know some natural ways to treat your heartburn. Learn them here https://tinyurl.im/aH8DH

The most immediate thing you can do is to stop drinking coffee and cola. Smoking is not good either, but that might be harder to stop. Don't over-eat. Don't lie down too soon after eating. Don't burp too much - this carries acid up with the burp.

heartburn the most common symptom of acid reflux disease (also known as gastroespohageal reflux disease, or GERD). Heartburn feels like a burning pain in the center of the chest. It is caused by acid from the stomach backing up into the esophagus. is a symptom of acid reflux disease (GERD) Also known as Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease

RE:

In my stomach it feels like a hunger pang that comes in waves. It feels acidic. It makes me feel sick and only really happens at night, so its keeping me awake.

I have no idea what it can be whats so ever - any clues.

I wouldn't be surprised if heartburn or acid reflux. I would suggest you read it!
