I am extremely tired and frustrated. At least two nights a week I awake choking on stomach acid! Tonight it really scared me because it seemed to burn the heck out of my vocal chords! It took at least an hour for the burning to stop. I was literally crying. I had surgery in Mexico so my family doctor has been trying to help me.. First I was on Nexium. That didn't solve the problem so now I'm on Dexilant! I am wondering what else may work.. I am 10 weeks out, I eat the right foods, and I don't eat too late. Now, I'm scared to sleep for fear of choking!! Has anyone else had a similar issue or know of a medication that may help?????

Thanks for the help everyone!! I will try propping my bed and see if doc can change meds again!! Thanks!!!!

Same thing happened to me at 4 weeks out!! Tried Nexium but it didn't help. I couldn't sleep at night bc the stomach acid was so extreme. Went to see my doc and she prescribed Dexilant. It has worked great!! Thank goodness, no more acid!!!

Anyone else having surgery with Dr. Almanza on February 11th??

Thanks DeeJack08!!!

I will be in TJ on Feb 10th. Surgery scheduled for Feb 11th. I'm so excited!! I'm already packed!! Yaaaayyy!!
