I walk up last night suffocating with acid-burning throat. i couldn't breath i felt that i was dying. what is it and can it be treated?

Reflux / aspiration: Please get with your physician now. It is likely that you aspirated some of your gastric contents. In the meantime, elevate the head of your bed on cinder blocks.
