▲ 23 r/GERD

I messed up

I've had gerd since I was 18. It was manageable, if I had a flareup it would only last like 2 days. Fastfoward I am now 24, on April 5th I decided to eat cheap chicken from walmarts deli, felt a little sick the next day. Come the next day I decided to have green tea at 12 am, stayed up again a bit because I was having fun. The next day I woke up I felt HORRIBLE, vomiting acid and not being able to keep fluids down. I went to urgent care they gave me Omeprazole which I used to take 3 years ago. Went to emergency room 3 days later because I was still vomiting acid and having bad heart burn so they switched me over to pantoprazole and sucralfate also zofran ( but it gives me a headache ) also told me I have liver disease (fatty liver) so that's probably making my gerd worse. I've been taking those, it's been about two weeks, I started my medication around four days ago and I feel like crap in the morning, I wake up with nasuea and sometimes minor heartburns and bloating. The ER said they couldn't find anything other than the liver disease and dehydration but they told me to go to a GI and my primary doctor. I want to also mention that I have anxiety and depression and also a college student, so the stress and anxiety have not been helping. I've been eating plain foods like kale, chicken, brown rice, oatmeal, banana. When I am hungry I feel like crap, but when I am eating I sometimes get nauseous and I have to eat super slow which takes me about an hour to finish small meals. I tried famotidine but it makes me feel weird and gives me a weird rush of energy. I have an appointment with my primary doctor on the 23rd of April, I haven't been able to work because my shifts are in the morning and I am too nauseous and anxious to drive or being in public right now. It's ruining me I just want this to go away and I hope it's nothing bad, I use to take SSRIS for the anxiety but I stopped a couple years ago.
