Worried for my 24yo boyfriend
He is roughly 6'3" and about 380-ish lbs. We started living together a few months ago and I've noticed he's got heartburn very, very frequently and he'll eat baking soda and wash it down with water to try to get rid of it. He vomits a LOT. When he eats anything he'll stop multiple times through the meal to go throw up and then finish eating. Sometimes randomly when he isn't eating he'll feel the need to vomit as well. Also after waking up, he coughs and hacks and says it's because hes got so much phlegm built up after sleeping. He hocks the phlegm up and sometimes all the coughing and stuff causes him to vomit too. He says it's been like this for as long as he can remember. Also want to add he has been a heavy drinker off and on the last couple of years, and he was born without a uvula but not sure if that's got any relevance to anything. No other medical issues that I know of. He does say one of his big toes feels weird/numb but idk if that's bc of working on his feet and the way his toes rub against his shoes. Any idea why any of this could be happening to him?
