GETTING STRANGLED & CHOKING - Hepatitis Message Board

DOCTORSLETMEDOWN · 12-29-2002, 09:18 AM

I awoke from my sleep last night feeling like I was strangled & had a hard time getting my breath back.
It really freaked me out.
I had a taste & smell in my nose & throat like after you have thrown up.
And it was like heartburn from hell.
Finally I got some water down & quit coughing & fell back asleep & this morning I seem ok.
Every once in a while lately I get strangled on nothing but my own saliva & start choking.
I'm on prilosec for my feflux / gerd & haven't had heart burn in forever.
? SOUND FAMILIAR ?

Hey DRSLMD-
The getting strangled and choking in my sleep sounds very familiar, the way I solved that- is I did not P*** off the wife before I went to bed. he he harr.

ahhemm- I do not know but it sounds like you have an acid reflux symtom, hey pal talk to your doc soon, people have been known to wake up dead that way.
Be well +
