What Causes Discomfort In Throat?

I am finding myself with the feeling of bile in the back of my throat. I have gotten sick (puked) a couple of times due to this feeling. It usally comes on at night once I lay down or wakes me in the middle of the night. I have tried sitting up to go to sleep which does not work. Now it seems to carry to even when I am sitting at work. I have no pains, nausea in my stomach, or any thing else that seems to be related.Thank you, Cash
