Thank you for the reply! I have recently elevated my bed as I was frequently waking up, also choking from the acid! It's very scary; I'm sorry you have also experienced that! Something I have found beneficial for my GERD is Prilosec. You may already take this, but in the morning, before I have breakfast, I take Prilosec, and it seriously changed my life! I went from 160lbs to 80lbs in about seven months because my GERD was so bad. After taking Prilosec religiously for about two months, I have been able to eat and keep everything down! It sounds like we have had some similar experiences, though, as I recently tore the tissue on my eye as well. Doing so is very painful! I will need to try the gel drops you mentioned!!

@hannahbernard1 I was on nexium for years, tried Prilosec, been on Omeprazole in the morning for a couple years and now also take pantroprazole in the evening . Sad part I tore the tissue on my eye the week of my 40th birthday and 2 years later my wife turned 40 and was wrestling my son and his toenail went across the same eye as mine , the eye doctor said that was a first having husband and wife with the same issue. I’m dealing with a failed back surgery and spent 4 months sleeping in a recliner since I went to Mayo Clinic I had to find someway to sleep so I was able to sleep on an air mattress which makes it hard to elevate my head.
