Can't sleep because of choking
I foundout I had GERD only 5 weeks ago. I have had the scope and Barrium test and the conclusion from my doctor is I have bad reflux with no damage. My biggest concern is the waking at night choking. I have not slept a full night in 2 weeks. 4 days ago I was switched from Prilosec 20mg 2/day, to Nexium 40mg 2/day. The results are my hoarse voice is getting better, but I am still waking with the choking. I am beginning to fear going to sleep. I know I'll beat this thing, but 2 weeks with little sleep makes one anxious. I have been able to sleep some late morning (weird). Oh well, I'll report back, I understand it takes time.
