Ok I have been suffering from reflux for months which I also had through most of my first pregnancy, up untill now i have been managing it with mylanta which i have found really good, however in the last week i have been waking up at night choking with the most horrid burning sensation in my throat, It causes me to cough like mad and tastes terible.
Has anyone else had this and is there any suggestions on how to stop it other than sleep upright. The reflux i could handle but this is a bit much.
Yep, I've had it really badly too. Spoke to the Dr, and have been prescribed ranitidine - and it has made a massive difference. I just take one at morning and night, and suffer no probs at all - I can now eat and sleep without indigestion, a wonderful thing! I also tried drinking lots of milk, which worked for a couple of weeks but didn't last the distance. Also, bread has been upsetting my stomach recently, perhaps you can identify things that make it worse? Perhaps you should talk to your dr about options?
Maybe you could also try some Rennie tablets, you can get from the chemist or supermarket. I got a sample pack in my bounty bag. I have not had to use them myself but my DP found them to be handy though after eating a dodgy kebab! LOL!
