could i have acid reflux or GERD?ok so i know this is nasty and i apologize...but i just woke up because aparently i inhaled some throw up or acid or something. im not sure what happened. i just woke up choking and when i breath out i get this horrible taste. and when i cough i have to spit because if i swallow it burns. when i cough then spit there is orange stuff. i assume thats because i had homemade chili last night...ugh. this is like the 4th time this has happened to me and i dont know whats going on. you would think the chili would give you heartburn or something but it didnt...acid just came up while i was asleep and i inhaled it. the only thing i know to do is keep coughin til i dont feel it in my lungs anymore and drink milk. does anybody know what this is or what i can do to help/prevent it? again i apologize for such a nasty question but i need help here. and no rude answers plz...dnt waste ur time. thanks!

it does sound like you may have GERD. you could see a doctor for it or treat your condition as
GERD to see if it goes away. take two prilosec or two prevacid OTC daily (the OTC dose is
one half the prescription dose). avoid acidic foods such as citrus, tomatoes, tomato sauces,
alcohol, chocolate, caffeine. do not lie down for at least 90 minutes after eating. do not eat
late at night. elevate the head of your bed 4-6 inches.
