Question : I have been throwing up, just stomach bile. Have had the feeling I'm going to throw up for over 12 hours. No fever, no chills. When I sleep on my side my chest hurts, almost like I'm squeezing my heart, I immediately wake up and feel like I'm going to throw up and actually have. I'm having upper stomach pains. No desire to eat or drink. Thinking I should just go to the hospital.
