Waking up choking

[Jaye Elle Tee 2]

I had my band in Sept 2010 and the night before last I woke up choking... It was soo scary.. I've since had Fluid taken out and have been on a soft diet since, but my chest still hurts.. I vomited twice after choking.. I think it was a combination of reflux and eating before bed... I'm just hoping the pain subsides and it's nothing serious. In the 2 1/2 years since I've had my band I've only had about 7 vomiting episodes. This is all new to me.

I woke up early this morning and ate something went back to sleep and woke up choking. It is important to not eat close to the time you go to sleep. It is such a scary feeling. Please also call your doctor. Be healthy!

Your exactly right it is reflux and especially if you ate before bed. Try not to eat that close to bedtime. Do you take any reflux meds?? If not you might want to discuss that with your doc.

I started taking anti-inflammatories for a back injury that has gotten progressively worse over the years.. Apparently they make your system produce more acid. Not to mention I was trying to be good and up my Water intake but neglected to remember lemons are highly acidic and should not have added then to my water, Esp after 6pm ... Needless to say, I won't be doing that again and have started taking prevacid... Thanks ladies! Xoxo

Are you saying you've been taking NSAIDs? Ibuprofen, aleve, even aspirin are NSAID medications and they cause a thinning of the protective lining of the stomach which can lead to erosion. Best to get yourself checked out, ASAP.

MsMaui..... Yes.. I just started taking Aleve daily about 2 weeks ago... I've informed my Dr and have started taking prevacid... I hope all will be ok.. This is my first issue..

[Jaye Elle Tee 2]

In the meantime I'm dealing with the back pain and skipping Aleve for a while.. At least till I feel 100%
