Vomiting In the Middle of the Night. Serious Issue!

[Dklinger]

So, usually I'm the one giving out advice but I guess it's time for me to finally ask a question. For the past week or so I've been "vomiting" in the middle of the night. It isn't projectile and usually doesn't leave my mouth but it burns my throat very bad and also restricts my breathing. Could this be a symptom of GERD or something else? Please help, even if not serious it's become quite annoying.
Thanks in Advance!

Thank you both very much! I worried mostly because of it restricting my breathing. I'll definitely start the food journal and use your advice until I can get to the doctor. Thanks again!

Hmmm.....sounds like GERD.  

The above poster has offered some good tips/suggestions.

Hi...is it phlegm, or acid .....bile? Do u have to spit it out and is it very thick and sticky ?

U may be dealing with reflux....and until u see ur dr...to help...elevate the head of ur bed, do not eat for 3to 4 hrs prior to lying down....avoid acid foods or foods that trigger ur reflux.

Ur dr will test u to see what is going on....so keep a journal of what u eat and how u feel to see if there is a pattern.

Good luck
