Last night i was awakened because i felt stuff coming up out of my mouth and nose and i had to gasp for breath.. why is that?

Reflux: Stomach acid coming up into the back of the throat gets aspirated into the trachea. You wake up choking. Chronic reflux can damage lungs. Start with your family physician.
