Experiencing Burning Sensation In Esophagus After Taking Sertraline, Nauseated, Not Able To Sleep. Treatment?

About an hour ago I took 100 mg of sertraline ( zoloft ) without using water and I am experiencing a burning sensation all down my esophagus . It feels like it is stuck and is making my mouth water and making me feel nauseated. I have tried antacids (4 tums ), 40 mg of nexium , milk, honey, yogurt, cold water, hot water, a banana, an Oreo, 2 pieces of bread and trying to vomit. Nothing is working and I can t sleep because of it. I m exhausted because I took my ambien along with it and I just can t sleep I m in so much pain.

Hi
Thank for asking to HCM
It is really you became over conscious, as long as you will try to came out of this panic by trying different ways, it will increase the pseudo impression of chocking, just relax and avoid the feeling, it will go away if it persisting then see the ENT surgeon, have nice day.
