ask your doc for Dexilant 60mg. also only drink cold-brewed coffee (68% less acid)
I have been experiencing the same thing for about 2 months and I have been at my current job for 3 and a half years so no anxiety there either. I have looked as well for answers and the only 2 things I have found that pertain to me are low blood sugar which I keep a check on and fluid on the brain. After having my third child which I had a c-section and was raised up way too early after my spinal I have spinal headaches which comes from spinal fluid leaking into the brain from being raised too early but it is very troublesome.
I think you should look into mucus issues. For me it is the inability to break down mucus in my throat. It is worse in cold weather or when i use cold water while brushing my teeth. Try mucinex.
I'll be different & say I'm not relieved to be the only one who suffers unexplained dry heaves. I certainly don't wish this on anyone (least favorites included). Many seem to have some similarities in symptoms leading to the dry heave. None identical. My symptoms are unique as well. Similar to the page two post of 10indc I've had these episodes for 17 years now. My cardiovascular stamina was good for 45 minutes non-stop during kickboxing matches, age 22. At age 24 while teaching a sparring class and sparring 4 students successively without rest, I dry heaved for the first time in the middle of that match. Only 20 minutes had elapsed. I am a fitness & martial arts professional that has always endured this at about 10 minutes of constant HIIT (high intensity interval training) since the first time. Obviously, as a trainer I take the best care of myself and being an avid Church goer with Gospel instruction to care for the body there's more incentive. Absolutely no alcohol, tobacco (never used), coffee or excessive use of processed foods. I get 6-10 servings of plant foods DAILY and drink a gallon + of fluids per day. I daily ingest phytonutrient, multivitamin & multimineral supplements and get above average amounts of Vitamin B 12 among the other basics.
Several years ago the dry heaves graduated to include mornings while preparing to leave the house. Upon moving too quickly I'd feel the heave coming on. I'd need to stop for several minutes to let it pass or just go dry heave & go about. If I sleep in late morning to early afternoon dry heaves don't occur. Seems to only be in the morning & if I move quickly. In the past year now if my nose is watery & I don't get to wipe it in time there is potential to dry heave. I don't believe "we" have an asthma condition. Asthma is about breathing difficulty as opposed to "our" reflux to heave. When this occurs I breathe normal. I teach proper breathing technique so I am confident others on this forum perform conventional "adult" short upper chest breaths. I didn't notice posts of breathing complaint. My hunch is a possible Sleep Apnia. A minor commonality I've seen in some posts is attempts to change sleep breathing behavior. Yep, I snore. I'm just too tired to notice or do anything about it. I only know about it because people have told me.
I agree with some of the posts that we are all under stress to a degree. True. Some more than others. However, there is good & bad to everything on Earth. Light stress is healthy & necessary. More than that will lead to the posted gastro intestinal disorders, ulcers and the like. Therefore, I keep my stress levels moderated. So I know that isn't a factor in this. I'll post what I find allevi8s it & invite others to do the same.

I have the same thing some mornings when I am stressed out or anxious about something, but I usually don't experience the symptom again during the day.
I have the exact same experience. It often happens when I do not have enough sleep or have things to do in the morning. But when I sleep in, or wake up feeling regenerated, it doesn't happen.
I have random dry heaves as soon as I wake up like right now and they have been going since about novemberish and I just feel about to vomit I sort of think it's because I'm hungry but I also think it is because I'm stressed but I'm not exactly sure does anyone recommend seeing a doctor?
Had these dry heaves for around five years. They are definitely linked to various forms of nervousness/anxiety, I feel it coming on if I am, but the dry heaves will also come without such underlying symptoms, and like so many others here, it usually happens in the morning, they last from anywhere between two to 10 minutes, and I am good for the rest of the day. In the beginning I thought it had something to do with some form of PTSD, after combat tours I have done in years past. Guess it could be a linkage there, but to be honest, I am not sure. Tried various remedies, but nothing seems to truly help. Over time, I have learned to live with it, and like I said, I get these in the morning, and that's about it for the day. Weird stuff, and sometimes annoying as hell.
I am so glad I am not the only one. I seriously felt insane. I have been having problems with dry heaving for a few months. It happens at random, almost daily. But, I've noticed that it happens more if my mouth becomes dry and first thing in the morning. Now, at first the thought of pregnancy ran through my head, but now that my cycles have come and passed. I'm confused, and from what I read I see no cure. Help?
i went to the doctor recently, he gave me tablets for an ulcer that i have got from smoking and told me to give them up nearly two weeks now an im still smoking just cut back not heaving half as much during exercise and only occurs after a nights drinking.but dont be posting threads and listening to other people it could be a number of things just go to the doctor the internet never cured anyone
I too have recently aquired this gagging disorder which is quite bothersome because makes you think you are sick, i smoke weed and it goes away , i use marijuana to treat this condition , no joke, it works, i went and seen my doctor about it and he thinks i have sleep apnea and it may be linked to that somehow, another doctor gave me a steroid nose spray and said use that for 3 months and see if it works, and then everyone else tells me its anxiety,, we need a name for this new unknown mystery disorder, .... any ideas. i am going for a sleep test soon and will get back to you guys.
I have been dry heaving in the morning more than anything, my job is pretty stressful and i workout but im not sure if thats the actual cause, i also smoke ciggarettes, could that be a possible cause?
I've been dealing with this since I was 20. I used to have nasty allergies in the summer. The retching only occurred during the summer... for the first three years. Every summer, my allergies significantly improved (I don't have them anymore). Since '04, when I moved out of my parents and bought a house, it is typical to go through this every morning, with the exception of weekends (for the most part: if anything, it is less severe on weekends).
I used to blame it on smoking and drinking. I drink at least six beers a day, often more. In '08, I deployed to Afghanistan, where I still smoked, but didn't drink alcohol. The retching in the morning was far worse. When I came back, I quit smoking, cut back on drinking (briefly... that didn't last), and became a health-conscious vegan (no meat, dairy, coffee, smoking, energy drinks). My job is physical, and stressful (mechanic). I still retch/dry-heave every morning (save for weekends). There was a two month period where I was taking an anti-histamine where the morning ritual disappeared. I won't name it because I don't believe it is healthy to rely on medications/prescriptions. But I woke up very dehydrated and that is no good.
Through research, experience, and experimenting, I've concluded this problem occurs because of:
1. POST NASAL DRIP (smoking and drinking are known causes... there are more if none of the below relate to you: look it up)
2. STRESS (started with my military career, was worse in a war zone, and now it typically only occurs on weekends when I don't work my stressful job).
3. LACK OF HEALTHY SLEEP (bad dreams, stressed out, alcohol consumption, being a night owl/waking up early, reading philosophy before bedtime, etc).
Hope this helps someone.
Sleep well, reduce unnecessary stresses, and strive to reduce/eliminate bad habits.
Forgot to mention that I used to be a reservist, and that my summers consisted of military training. The summer it started (2001), was probably the most stressful summer I've endured... aside from my summer in Kandahar. Both summers, I slept very little, lived on pop/energy drinks and cigarettes.
To reiterate: healthy sleep and stress reduction should cure it. Of course, that's not always easy. Oh yeah, don't join the military and quit if you're already in :)
