A member asked:

With gerd or acid reflux, if you have a flare-up overnight, can it still bother you the next day after you wake up? is it because you've been asleep and have an empty stomach when you wake up? or is it due to another reason?

Gerd: Yes it is possible for acid reflux to continue to bother the next day or next several days based on the severity. Acid is an irritant in the esophagus and throat area, so excess of that triggers inflammation and can take anywhere from a few hours to several days to feel better in the absence of any acid suppressing or neutralizing medications.

Gerd/acid reflux: Yes it can bother you the next day. The constant irritation of the reflux acid is the cause. Some cases of wheezing have been attributed to acid reflux.
