Tongue feels burnt and swollen, severe nausea, please help I'm scared!

My tongue always feels raw and burnt like I burnt my tongue drinking something too hot. It also feels swollen.
I wake up every morning and my throat and mouth is bone dry. I am fine after I get up and take a drink of water or something. I am a mouth breather too and have allergies but over the past month or so my mouth has really really been dry.
I also keep getting severe waves of nausea but I am scared to throw up.
The worse my nausea gets I notice that the more raw and swollen feeling my tongue gets.
Tonight I ate some soup and drank a glass of milk, nothing abnormal that what I've eaten before but then I started to get really sick at my stomach.
My stomach always burns like its on fire and I get this really horrible sulfur, metallic taste in my mouth too. Sometimes burping helps to relieve it.
I have trouble swallowing food and sometimes liquids and I am scared to death of throwing up and the vomit getting stuck and not being able to get it out. So I am scared that I will choke to death on my own vomit.
Can this really happen? I mean not just aspirating it into my lungs and choking that way, I mean the vomit actually getting stuck in my esophagus?
Everytime I eat I have to painfully force the food down, it its something solid with lots of liquids. It feels like trying to swallow a rock that just won't go down.
Can anyone please give me advice?
I haven't officially been diagnosed with GERD, or LPR or anything although I was seeing a gastroenterologist for about 2 years for my digestive problem and he could never give me a definite answer. Now I'm without insurance and can't even go to find a new doctor.
I am so scared! I don't want to die!
What can I do? Does anyone else feel this way? I've been reading about natural remedies such as raw apple cider vinegar with mother. Does anyone have any suggestions on what I can take over the counter and natural remedies for what I am experiencing?
Thank you so much! I look forward to hearing from anyone with any advice.

Re: Tongue feels burnt and swollen, severe nausea, please help I'm scared!

Just wish I could help you, but, I'm in the same situation. My mouth is dry and tastes like salt. Get waves of nausea. Got no appetite at all. Tried Lanzaprazole. Even after having a drink it just dries up. They've ruled out reflux and suggested post nasal drip. Tried decongestant pills,nasal sprays,propping myself up at nightime. Fed Can't believe in this day and age they can't find solution. Sorry can't help. I shouldn't worry about choking as long as you aren't laying down.
