Periodic Occurrence Of Excessive Saliva, Get Vomiting On Swallowing, Feeling Of Lump In The Middle Of Chest. Reason?

Hi doctor my partner is a 24 year old white male and is completely healthy other than on some nights he produces a lot of salivia he has tried constantly swallowing it but this eventually causes him to vomit and he has tried spitting it all out , it literally falls out into the bucket like a waterfall. He sometimes feels like he has a lump in the middle of his chest . This happens for about 2/3 nights in a row 2/3 times a month? Any help would be great as he has had this for about 2years and keeps him awake at night. Thanks

Dear
Welcome to HCM
We understand your concerns

Saliva is a body fluid which enhances and helps the digestive process. Also it is helping in lubricating, mixing and rolling the food while chewing. Water brash is a condition where excessive saliva is produced due to acidity conditions. Acidity and sour risings often causes vomiting also.

Your partners condition might be water brash and acid reflux. Consult a gastroenterologist for confirmation and further treatment.
Good luck.
