Bad gastric reflux. wake up coughing and coughing and gagging. at work i cough and gag, what to do?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Elevate the bed: Take a proton pump inhibitor in the morning before breakfast, then an h2 blocker at night before bed. But elevate the head and the bed with bricks, books, or get a mattress wedge. Pillows do not work.
