Hi all

Does anyone here who suffers with reflux get a weird jolting feeling when laying down? Its always like a gasp for breath and like a palpitation feeling? Very hard to explain. I did wake up with a burning feeling in my throat aswell

I had acid reflux like you but I am unable to relate to your symptoms. However I did get a burning sensation in my throat during the day.

I am being treated with ompreloze ( for my acid reflux and it is really helping.

Are you having any treatment for yours?

I suffer reflux as well as asthma. I don't get a jerk on lying down. Did you mean as soon as you lie down, or is it during the night or when you wake up? I believe it is common to experience a 'falling off a cliff' thing just on falling asleep and isn't necessarily to do with reflux or asthma.

I do get the burning throat sometimes. I have found that eating cheese at night or anything too sweet will cause the throat burning, but sometimes it takes me by surprise and I don't really know what caused it.

Hi guys. I had this. It went on to be silent reflux, it's the worst thing ever. Now I have to sleep on a wedge pillow and not eat anything 4 hours before bed. Feel alot better now tho but if you have the burning feeling in your throat it may lead on to lpr silent reflux. No fun at all. Thanks

Please research drinking celery juice first thing in the morning it will address your reflux

Hi, I was just wandering how you getting on with your symptoms, because what you described is quite familiar to me. Did you manage to get a handle on it. Thanks
