Acid Reflux: Avoiding acidic foods shortly before retiring is an easy strategy for managing rare episodes of this condition. If it happens frequently despite taking this step, get evaluated by your PCP for an underlying issue such as Gastric Esophageal Reflux Disease which may be a factor. The big issue here is aspiration, meaning vomit making its way into your respiratory system. That is a serious issue.
