I think I have acid reflux or gastritis or something along those lines. I have had 2 episodes of severe pain below my breast bone for more than a day. I burped throw up at first, then a strange taste. I had no appetite. The first time was an entire week, the second time only two days. I also have muscle weakness in my arms

Hello
welcome to health care magic
Your symptoms suggest that it is probably acid reflux{(GERD) that is gastro esophageal reflux disease}..
In this you may feel the pain below the breast bone,,
Take proton pump inhibitors like pantocid along with domperidone,,this combination relieve your symptoms..But this should be taken before breakfast..
Apart from medications i will advice you
1.avoid taking coffee,chocolate,in the night
2.keep 2 or more pillows below head
3.avoid masala foods in the night.
4.take light food in the night..

because of this you may feel no appetite,,
Hope you understand my suggestion
Thank you
