I seem to have these symptoms during what I think are episodes of acid reflux. My chest will feel like a lump is growing in it and that is followed by a wave of nausea. This is usually a warning about what will happen next. I break into a sweat and then goose bump. Sometimes the goose bumps precede the sweats. Occasionally, but not always, burning fluids, seemingly coming from my chest area, accumulate in my throat.

During these episodes, I feel that I am near to passing out. Fortunately, this has not happened but I do feel very unsteady as the "wave" hits me.

I'm sorry I don't have an answer for you, but it sounds identical to what's happening to me. I have had a sensation of a lump in my throat on and off for months. I'll be totally fine sitting at my desk at work and I get hit with a wave of nausea. I usually go to the bathroom thinking I'm going to get sick but I don't. I get very hot and have to go stand outside. It's over as quick as it started. I take prevacid solutab sometimes twice a day and I'm on an anti anxiety medicine. They don't seem to be helping I still get really sick sometimes three days a week. Just glad to here I'm not crazy this happens to someone else with reflux.

I have suffered with ulcers and acid reflux for 12 years. I have taken medications tagamet, Nexium, etc, but had stuck with tagamet for the last 7 years as you can take this drug during pregnancy and nursing (and it was cheap). Between 2004 and 2007 I had many middle of the night attacks of nausea with the sweating dizziness, and near fainting. So bad I had to lay on the floor to vomit. Not normal stuff. I reported it but everyone seemed to think it was stress or anxiety. This all changed last year when i had a middle of the night attack. I actually did faint instead of vomiting and it was very scary. I reported to my doctor and he said it must be the acid reflux and i have been taking prevacid religiously for 1 year. I have not had another episode.

It sounds like acid reflux to me. I had all those symptoms today in the middle of the mall of all places. I have not been taking my Prevacid for the past 3 days as had not picked it up at the pharmacy and I am positive that is why I had the attack today. I was on Protonix daily for over 5 years and it just wasn't doing the job any longer; have been on Prevacid for over a year and this was the first attack I have had in a very long time.

If you keep having the symptoms, I would suggest going to a GI doctor and having an Upper Endoscopy; that will show whether or not you have reflux disease or possibly something else such as a Hiatal Hernia.

Good luck and hope you feel better.
