GERD: You may have a hiatal hernia. It sounds like you are having mini-aspiration episodes (breathing in some of the stomach juices). That is very bad for you. You need to see an gastroenterologist and probably have them take a look at your esophagus and stomach with a endoscope. Sleep propped up on two or three pillows or tilt your bed up 8 inches.
