A member asked:
Gerd or acid reflux? i have been waking up with burning in throat and sour taste in mouth for days. all heart tests are ok.
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Acid Reflux: Your symptoms are typical for acid reflux. When lying horizontal, the reflux worsens. Try to not eat anything within 2 hours of retiring. Sometimes elevating the head of the bed by propping up the front legs with blocks can help. Anti acids like Mylanta can provide some relief as can over the counter medications like Nexium (esomeprazole) and Prilosec. If the symptoms persist, see your doctor.
