Help with stomachache and sodium

I'm a first timer, 17 weeks along and lately I've been feeling really weird. I feel like I have a lump of salt in my throat or I have a stomachache that also seems "salty". I know that doesn't make much sense, but I'm not sure how else to describe it. I've been drinking a lot of fluids, water and Gatorade along with some caffeine as recommended by my doctor for headaches, and I've also been trying to eat foods low in sodium. I'm worried about what exactly this all means. Any help will do :)

Re: Help with stomachache and sodium

  • I'm not exactly sure what it could be, but maybe acid reflux?  I've had reflux for years and I get that lumpy feeling in the back of my throat from it.  I don't know if I would call it salty though.  You said you've been drinking Gatorade and caffeine.  Those are two things that set my reflux off.  So maybe???  If you're concerned def call your doctor.  That's what they're there for.  GL!
