I've been having an issue, usually but not always when I eat, where I get pains in my chest (sort of like heartburn) and I produce excessive and trick saliva. Its been happening for over a year now on a somewhat regular basis. Sometimes it is worse than other, I have even thrown up a few times while having it. I talked to my family doctor about this awhile ago and he thought that I might have acid reflux but he wasn't sure since my symptoms were rather unusual. I went on acid reflux meds for awhile and they didn't really seem to help all that much. Any idea what is wrong with me? If it matters, I am a type 1 diabetic since 2005.
