What Causes Throat Discomfort And Spasms In The Stomach?
hi for the last three weeks I have been having a strange feeling in throat as if I cannot breath and spasms in my stomach but this only happens on the onset of literally falling a sleep it doesn t happen after that. It always follows a certain pattern. I also get a chill while this happens. I do take a lot of meds and was just wondering whether I have an acid reflux. It is not a pleasant feeling

Hello and welcome to HCM,
Acid reflex is characterized by heart burn, pain in upper abdomen and water brash.
Spasm in stomach is not very characteristic of acid reflux.
However, you may consult your physician for clinical examination.
Inability to breath while going off to sleep could be due to anxiety and not due to any kind of organic illness.
Thanks and take care
