I'm not sure but I'm thinking I might be noticing a side effect already.
I woke up with a sore throat today. Thought maybe I might be sick but that's not really how it felt (no other symptoms). What it feels like is a sore throat you get after vomiting multiple times in a day.
In the past I have had some acid reflux issues where I woke up in the night swallowing vomit/stomach acid. That was pretty rare and hasn't happened in many months to a year.
Yesterday I felt like my stomach contents were going upwards so I took some Tums to see if that would help (that's all I had at home and I really don't think it helps much and not for long at all). So this morning I had a sore throat feeling like I must have threw up a lot but I don't recall doing so and didn't have a nasty taste in my mouth. I took a drink of something this morning and instantly it kept trying to come up. I kept burping and a little liquid would drain at a time until finally some stomach acid came up in my mouth. Hurt my throat as expected. Took some more Tums in a vain attempt to make it not happen again.
It hasn't happened again since this morning but my throat still hurts (hurts more when I swallow liquid, food hurts less than liquid which I find odd).
I've been trying to find information on Methotrexate causing acid reflux or possibly making it worse yet haven't had any luck. Looking at the side effects it mentions vomiting so I'm wondering if I'm vomiting a little with no nausea instead of having acid reflux (if that makes sense
).
I'll definitely keep an eye on it and will try to make an appointment with one of my doctors to see if I can take something for it while on Methotrexate (gotta love having to wait till Monday to get anything done). After writing this I've started burping more and feel like stomach contents are coming back up a bit just like last night. D:
Did you ever deal with this KWalker? Or anyone else still reading?
