Woke up with intense burning in throat!
I woke up a few minutes ago from a sudden intense burning in my throat! It felt like I had swallowed or inhaled acid! I am still having the most horrible heart burn I have ever experienced in my life! I was having trouble breathing too. I am afraid to go back to sleep. Has any one experienced this? Any ideas of what would of caused this? It had been more than 9 hours since I had eaten dinner. I wonder what would stop the burning. Water hasn't. Maybe some tums?
I recently had an episode or two of this and my surgeon said it was acid reflux; I was told not to eat or drink before sleeping, and I take an occasional Prilosec OTC if I do so inadvertantly. I also sleep with my head raised, not below my heart.
Hasn't happened since.
It's an awful taste, isn't it??

I had reflux like that all the time before surgery....I only have it occasionally now and not as bad..I took nexium before and I continue to take it and I have read most people are supposed to take an acid reducer for 6 months after RNY.
You should call you Dr and get something if it is this bad.
Mylanta OTC is good.
