Can Heartburn make you throw up???

This has happended 3 times now.

Last night I had a fairly big dinner not the usual size dinner I would have then about 1/2 hour later we had some chocolate cake with fresh cream. Then I started to get heartburn and indigestion then about an hour later I brought all my dinner up. I threw up again during the night and did not sleep well and this morning I still feel very sick.:eek:

Could it be the heartburn making me throw up or the fact I am eating too much. Its only happened after I have had big meals.
