ER Checkup from Persistent Hiccups Causing Gagging & Choking

At about 9pm on Friday night I started gagging, and wrenching. An entire day of hiccups and now almost constant Acid Reflux had caused me to start dry heaving, and trying to throw up. At points I would actually vomit stomach acid, but no food. It was pretty much like I was just throwing up small amounts of water, although it tasted like stomach acid.

After about 3 hours or gagging my fiancée decided it was time for me to go to the emergency room. It was 12am and the hospital was the only medical office open. I agreed and we went to the ER to get my checked out for my hiccups.

I was checked out very promptly because of the chest pains I was experiencing. Medical offices seem pretty good about addressing chest pains in an expedited manner. This is because they need to rule out whether a person is suffering from gastro intestine problems or cardiac problems.
