Thoughts from fellow sufferers please

I asked both the Dr in ER and the Dr I saw yesterday but really neither knows so I thought to ask here and see if anyone who has experienced this might have same experiences or thoughts.

A week before I began having episodes of acid waking me up at night, I experienced nighttime fullness and extreme nausea, one night I had to get out of bed and vomit. I would then go back to bed with no further problems.

Is it possible that this set off the acid spilling into my esophagus at night and I wonder why the food even with the severe bloating and nausea episodes managed to stay in my stomach the week prior. This is all really weird and im just trying to make some sense of it.

I appreciate any thoughts.
