I did do the exact same thing. What I have is called "GERD". I probably won't spell it right but here goes: gastro esophical reflux disease

It is cause when stomach acids going back up the esophogus. There is a flap in there that is suppose to open and close and it gets stuck in the closed position. The vomiting is horrible.

I didn't know what it was and it got so bad I was rushed to the hospital thinking I was having a heart attack at 2:30 in the morning. It was the pressure that caused it. Now I take a little pill and it doesn't happen any more. Moral: don't wait too long to have this checked. Thinking I was having a heart attack was scary.
