Suggest Treatment For Acid Reflux
Acid reflux
Detailed Answer:
Hi
Thanks for posting the query.
The sense of breathing difficulty in the early morning hours without any history of cold could be due to acid reflux from the stomach into the throat.
When the acid from the stomach regurgitates into the throat it causes inflammation in the larynx leading to thickening of the vocal cords and thus breathing difficulty.
Do not worry! It is not a serious problem. My suggestion to you is to avoid lying down immediately after the dinner and use a bigger pillow in order to raise the headend and avoid the reflux.
Hope I have answered your query; I'll be available for the follow up queries.
