Hi,I am Dr. Subhankar Chakraborty (Gastroenterologist). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
I .have been told I have silent reflux What can I do when I wake from sleep coughing, choking and not breathing Frantic I found myself jumping up and down and then pinched my nose shut and then miraculously I could breathe. Thoughts of cutting my throat opened came to me but I didn t have the ability to move. I thought I would pass out and die right there. What can I do if this happens again?
For patients with reflux,here are a few useful tips:
-take your meals at proper times. -take small frequent meals instead of large meals - do not lie down immediately after ure meal -avoid fatty foods, chocolate, peppermint, caffeine and fizzy drinks - Go to bed two hours after you've had dinner - take up walking regularly -prop up the head end of ure bed, so that when u lie down, your at an approximate angle of 30 degrees...try putting bricks under the head end of your bed.
Hopefully...these simple tips would do wonders for you....Goodluck...!
