Odd thing happened last night

[mominkansas 2]

Last night I drank some Water while in bed. I propped myself up on one arm and drank a few sips. I will say I was very thirsty so I may have been a bit tight for this reason.

The water wouldn't stay down, I was almost refluxy.

Has this happened to any of you? It was quite scary and I wondered what went wrong?

I had a problem with waking up coughing about 3 hours after I went to bed, getting acid reflux. My doc recommended trying no fluids for 1 hour before bed and no food at least 3 hours before bed. It did help, but if it continues, you may need to get a very slight unfill to take care of the problem. p.s. I never drink in bed, even when I'm thirsty. I don't want a repeat of those episodes.

I agree! Definately do not drink in bed! I was also told no drink for 1 hour before and no food for 3 hours before bed. It has definately helped me with the reflux in bed! It's not a fun experience, I know!!! Good luck!

I sleep with a wedge pillow. Seems to eliminate this problem for me.
