Question : i am having a yeast infection, I am sick to my stomach, and I have heartburn
Brief Answer:
do you have reflux symptoms?
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
you haven't mentioned where this infection is located. Is it a skin infection?
Your stomach problems are probably unrelated to the yeast infection, although the fungus may spread to the esophagus sometimes and cause heartburn (particularly if you've got yeast infection in the mouth).
Do you have reflux symptoms? If you do, then the heartburn is justified.
In any case heartburn requires investigation and assessment of your upper gastrointestinal system with endoscopy. If reflux is the cause of your symptoms then a proton pump inhibitor will be very helpful.
I hope you find my comments helpful!
You can contact me again, if you'd like any clarification or further information.
Kind Regards!

No reflex problem here and the yeast infection in private area
Brief Answer:
local treatment is indicated
Detailed Answer:
Since the infection is confined to the skin only, there is probably no relation to the heartburn. You should contact a gastroenterologist for endoscopy and receive appropriate treatment (proton pump inhibitor). Depending on the findings of the endoscopy, other drugs might be needed too.
