Waking up in a panic

[JessNY]

Hi all,

Just woke up with horrible burning/sour taste in the back of my throat and it threw me into a panic attack. Does anyone else get this?? What a horrible way to wake up, right?!

I get this all the time; my doctor told me it could be an acid reflux thing that comes with the anxiety. Do you burp a lot? haha. Try taking tums and it might go away.

I've definitely been dealing with reflux/gerd symptoms lately, plus last night I had a very delicious albeit heavy dinner which didn't help. This morning when I woke up and felt the panic attack immediately coming on, I took one of my Ativans and then some tums. Feel a lot better now. It's just not how I would prefer to start my day!
