I have acid reflux which I see gastro Dr. for.

Or should I go to an e.r.?
Understanding your concern. As per your query you have symptoms of acid reflux problem and vomiting. Well acid reflux is very common problem . Treatment of acid reflux depend upon taking medicine and alteration in life style , which is very important par of treatment. Need not to worry. I would suggest you to avoid spicy and heavy meal specially at night . eat at least one hour before going to bet , take a light walk for 15-20 mins after every meal , take antacid after every meal like gelusil. Visit gastroenterologist once if symptoms keeps on persisting and start treatment accordingly after complete examination.
