What really kills me is acid reflux. If I get it at night I just have to wake up and sit down or stand up until it passes... fortunately it happens rarely enough and I kind of know what will trigger it, but it still sucks.
- TedDoesntTalk 3y agoAre you eating within 3 hours of sleep?
- spondylosaurus 3y agoAlka-Seltzer always knocks reflux down for me pretty quick. Still get woken up by the reflux and have to haul myself out of bed to get the goods, but a few sips and I can get right back in bed.
- baby 3y agoOh interesting, I see that it's made with bicabornate sodium. Just bought some! And some tums as well. Let's see if any of these work :D thanks!
- MetallicDragon 3y agoTry OTC reflux medicine like Prilosec (Omeprazole). Works way better than Tums for reflux in my experience.
- baby 3y agoI have some from Costco and IIUC you need to take it in the morning or something for 2 weeks? Never seemed to do much to me though, especially when I really need it.
- m463 3y agoDon't eat near bedtime, and you might want to consider tilting your bed a few degrees.
- boringds 3y agoFWIW and for others reading this. If you experience reflux regularly, go get checked. I had an undiagnosed H Pilory infection for years (can lead to cancer). 2 weeks of antibiotics fixed it.
- baby 3y agoInterestingly I had this issue and got better for a while. Maybe I should get checked again.
- Ironlikebike 3y agoFor me it's really an intestinal gas issue that's forcing my stomach to compress, such that when I lay down, the acid makes way to my esophagus.
