hi,
probably you are having GERD. (gastro esophageal reflux disease) . you have symptoms of gastritis and feeling of suffocation (esophageal spasm on lying down, resulting in the suffocation feeling). so raise your pillow and sleep so that reflux of gastric contents is not there. also you can take antacids with drugs increasing gastric motility like cintapride.
wish you good health
