Last night, I woke up after midnight spluttering and coughing, having inhaled an unknown amount of acid reflux. I was choking on the remainder of it.
This despite years of sleeping on a large wedge pillow.
Some delightfully-tasty horseradish slaw is the most likely culprit. It was not overwhelmingly seasoned with the stuff, but there was enough that I didn't finish my portion. It would seem that what I had was too much. Didn't sleep much after that, and arose in the morning to a world that is tilting slowly back and forth. It has not ceased, and I keep nodding off. Perhaps I am lulled by it, like napping in a hammock or in a small boat. Either way, it was obvious I wasn't going anywhere.

Eeeeyyyuucch. Just had a couple episodes of that myself, recently. Y'all get better, kiddo...
Chips and salsa too late at night is my usual trigger. Had a very similar episode last week. Yeah, choking on stomach contents will wind you up...sleep ain't happening for a loooooooooooong time afterwards. Hope you catch up on that sleep this weekend.
I take a single OTC prevacid every day. I have done this since at least 2000. Heredity is the culprit. I hate waking up like that, gagging and wheezing.
Fleep!
