   If the tastes in your mouth is rotten eggs, you could be on the verge of having sulfur burps, which may eventually lead to throwing up. Otherwise, you need to go to your doctor to see what they think about you having acid reflux. Check your breath every now and then to see if it smells like rotten eggs. My bet is suflur burps, sulfur does smell like rotten eggs.

   Acid reflux disease (GERD) is only one of many kinds of digestive diseases commonly known as “heartburn.” There are specific symptoms that will help you determine whether or not you have acid reflux or “GERD.”

   If you have a “searing” sensation in the digestive tract, you have one of the most common symptoms of GERD. This sensation can often be felt in the throat or the chest. Other common symptoms are hoarseness, an acrid taste in the mouth, bitterness or sourness in the mouth, frequent coughing and wheezing.

   There are some special characteristics that can help indicate the existence of GERD. One of them is the presence of pain or that “searing” sensation when one is lying down or just bending over. If this should occur, try to sleep on the back with the head elevated. Some people claim that physical activity and exercise help diminish acid reflux over time.
