Suggest Treatment For Choking On Acid Reflux In Sleep

Hello - I m 5 year post lap band, I ve lost 100 pounds. I haven t had a fill in over 3years just recently I started refluxing during my sleep, the PA I see gave me an Rx to help, the med has helped with the acid part, but now I m dealing with waking to choking on mucus that I have to jump out of bed and spit it out as soon as I lay down it happens all over again to the point where I m no longer get a full night sleep. the Only suggestion my PA has for is to take Benadrly to help with reducing the mucus, but clearly that s not the answer either. Any help are suggestion as to what I could do to help with this matter, or what questions I should be asking when it come to talking with my PA? Thank you kindly for your help. l. gee

Thank you very much for contacting healthcare magic.

I understand your problem..

I will advise you to do some diet modifications and lifestyle modifications like....

Avoid coffe ,alcohol drinking, chocolate, citrus foods, spicy food....etc.

Eat small amount of meal and chew properly.
Avoid gaseous foods like cabbage, cauliflower, carbonated drinks etc...

Elevate your head during sleeping time so less acid reflux occurs.

Avoid immeadiate lying down after meal.
Proton pump inhibitor drugs help in gastroesophageal reflux disease.

After taking this much care still symptoms are present than consent a gastroenterologist for further treatment.
Endoscopy can done if needed.

I hope my guidance helpful to you..
