    Default Has anyone experienced this?

    So last night, I didn't get home until almost 10 and just ordered a pizza cause we were hungry. Ive ate late before like this, but I did lay down and fall asleep shortly after. Well, at like 2:30 am I remember waking up in a panic thinking I was V* ( i know this is my worst nightmare! ) But after waking up gasping for air, and swallowing a few times, I noticed, I did not V, I didn't have a bad taste in my mouth, nothing was burning.... so I am not sure what happened. My husband told me it was like acid reflux. He has woken up abruptly before with kind of the same thing, but I am just not sure. I haven't eaten yet today, but am starting to feel hungry. Have had normal bowels and feel relatively fine, aside being worried. And I am now more anxious cause I am reading of people being sick. I also am taking a class at night for 3 hours a night this week, with a lot of kids. So I am all flustered! Any thoughts?
    If you try and tell me a phobia is unreal. I dare you to live a day, and feel what I have to feel.

    Pizza and laying down do NOT mix. It was acid reflux.

    Def acid reflux. I have had it so many times only with heartburn so my throat felt like it was on fire... I have anxiety when I get it but I just usually take an antacid or eat some apple bits and wait it out.

    Yep, acid reflux. I cannot eat anything with a tomato base in the evening. This happens to me each and every time. I've found that drinking a glass of milk definitely helps reflux or as Hannah mentioned, an antacid. Tums become my best friend with tomato based meals!
