[QUOTE=KATCSR;3375115]It was extremely scary and I don't even want to go to sleep tonight... And sleeping is one of my most favorite activities!:D

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!

I don't know if I have Pepcid but I do have Zantac... Could I take that tonight ?

Yes you can take zantac. I'm on Prevacid and sometimes when it doesn't seem to work I take zantac also. Also I sleep in a reclined position and this seems to help.

I have had them at night and it is an awful feeling. Must admit it's when I've eaten something not so good late. I usually can go back to sleep. You won't believe what helps me most when this happens but: No. 1-I have to sniff up some sea salt and baking soda since it feels like it goes up into my sinus, No. 2-Take a swig of Mylanta and No.3-Chew some gum! I've gone to sleep with gum in my mouth but I swear it helps me.

I'm like Flower Girl. I have most of my worst symptoms during the day. PND, cough and choke episodes out of the blue. Always when I'm bending or lifting things. Sometimes my eyes will water. I find that chewing gum during the day helps (good thing I'm able to do that at work since alone most of the time) I know drinking lots of water is suppose to help but I even choke or cough after drinking it. Certainly when I'm nervous or worried, I'm always worse.

Are you taking your meds twice a day or at night? That may help the night symptoms or add Pepcid or another OTC product at bedtime.
