ftm. heartburn or something else?

[kat918]

Not sure if what I'm feeling is heartburn or baby pushing on my organs. I get this near constant feeling like I'm choking or have something stuck in my throat. I'm 31 weeks, so I'm partially figuring that it's the baby pushing on my organs, but I'm still really concerned. This feeling makes it hard for me to eat, makes it hard to breathe, and makes the already difficult task of sleeping even harder. Any advice will be VERY much appreciated as I would like to avoid an unnecessary trip to the er.

I'm trying to stay away from meds as much as possible unless I absolutely need them. This bout is the longest its lasted so far since it started happening, going on almost a day and a half now. Hubby said if I don't feel better soon, we can go to the hospital, but knowing it's most likely just really bad heartburn is (strangely) somewhat comforting.  Thank you so much!

I would call the nurse/dr and ask, however it sounds like heartburn.  About a month ago, maybe 6wks,  I started waking up at night because I was chocking.  Then it lead to me getting sick.  I asked the doc and they said heartburn and told me I could take stronger OTC meds, tums wasn't working.  But I would just double check with your doc.  Good luck!!
