i've been feeling like this for a day now. it's not because i ate too much, in fact i ate much less than usual. it feels like my stomach's contents are pushed up against my throat but when i try to throw up i can't... is this indigestion? i think it's the first time i've had something like this

throwing up is something i really hate doing but i thought it was caused by stomach contents actually pushing up but i guess it's just an illusion... it feels horrible
