Night Reflux

Hi all :-)

A few weeks ago I started getting bad reflux at night and whenever I lay down. It doesn't matter if I have a solid dinner (like fish) or a liquid dinner (soup). I've even tried not having any food or liquid within two hours of going to bed, which didn't work. I find that even fluids often seem to sit above the band for ages too. Like I had some cold coffee about 3 hours ago and I can still feel it sitting there :-(. I wake up coughing and regurgitating and often my throat feels so burnt afterwards I find it hard to breathe.

Just wondering does anyone else have or had this problem? My next appointment is on 16.12.11 but I think I might have to try to see him earlier.

Any advice would be greatly appreciated! :-)

Thanks guys, I am glad and I'm feeling better already. Slept wonderfully the past couple of nights without reflux or being propped up. my upper belly is slowly going down some and I'm burping out air. what a relief!
