I was diagnosed with LPR about 3 years ago and couldn't believe I had it.. I don't have a lot of symptoms--I clear my throat a lot but thought it was post nasal drip..Well, occasionally I get a sore throat or a little regurgitation at night. Well, last night was a whole new ballgame. I woke up around 12:30 with acid coming up my throat and I swear I felt like I couldn't breathe!! I jumped out of bed and stood up and was scared to death.. Well, I went into the bathroom and found my presciption for Nexium and took it. I never took the prescription before so I am hoping if I take the Nexium this problem will go away.. I have no interest in feeling like I am choking to death again!! I am also scared to death to lay down tonight.. I think I might sleep in a chair..Has anyone else ever experienced this choking sensation???
Yes, it has happened to me twice. i thinkthe acid came up and went down my windpipe. Thankfully I got my breath back after I stood up and ran to my husband in he other room. It was very scary.
It was extremely scary and I don't even want to go to sleep tonight... And sleeping is one of my most favorite activities!
Sleeping is my favorite activity and I also have reflux- makes it a real drag.
I started taking Nexium a week ago, because I have a sore throat 24/7.
I hope you sleep well tonight, try some Pepcid AC or something like that until the Nexium kicks in!
