Nooooooo

      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.

  2. 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.

  3. 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!
