    Something else. Unless the weight loss is from eating less and you just don't realize it.
    You need a complete workup. You can't get this diagnosed online.
    It might be a very correctable problem such as an esophageal hernia, so don't hesitate to see a doctor (not an ER).

    What are you hoping to be told? You just aren't going to get a diagnosis without tests - in person. Your symptoms sound painful and 'unintentional weight loss' is something to have looked into ASAP.
    I understand that many people have no money and no insurance. You call around everywhere, to find a free or sliding scale clinic, or work out a payment plan after you are seen, and fill out a financial statement.
    I've had heartburn for the last 15 years or so of my 66 years, with no reflux. I get away with Tums. I had my gallbladder out. The various things that can go wrong with your gallbladder vary a lot. I mentioned a hernia. It could be all sorts of other things! NO ONE can know online!
