acid reflux while sleeping - grasping for air
I am 35 weeks and have had bad heartburn and acid reflux at night. Today I took a nap on the couch from black friday shopping and woke up choking because the reflux had come up while i was sleeping and I immediately threw up....has anyone else experience this? It reallly freaked me out.....i'm taking my heartburn medication now because i forgot to take it this morning....let me know!

Re: acid reflux while sleeping - grasping for air
I'm just about 23 weeks (with triplets) and the same thing happened to me last night....I definately scared my husband. I ended up taking tums and sitting up for a little while until I felt better.

Re: acid reflux while sleeping - grasping for air
Never had heartburn in my entire life until I got into the second trimester. Since then though, it has been relentless! I take tums and zantac. I have woken up a few times gasping for air as well! So scary...but glad I'm not alone!  LOL!

Yes! I am 32 weeks and this happened to me a few times. I woke up choking and tasted the acid. It made me vomit but then I felt better. Now I take two tums before bed and either sit up or I make a wedge with the pillows so my head is elevated.
