You described it perfectly.
I used to have real bad acid reflux. Burning, trouble swallowing. It felt like I was choking. If I would lay down felt the burning and reflux.
Now I sleep on wedge, don't eat late, don't recline after eating.
Since AC I am belching a lot.
Sometimes wake up feeling as though food hasn't digested.
I take a PPI.

@sheila7a I do the same. Sleep on a wedge, try not to eat sweet stuff (which isn’t fair) lol. Like you said, lay down, instant burning in throat and I follow all the rules. I take pantoprazole but I believe it is not good to take for a long time. I will mention this hiatal hernia to my doc next visit, because I can’t see me being cured of MAC as long as this keeps happening.
I’m not even sure AC is a good thing for us. Maybe we should just be nebulising with saline and breathing without the use of aerobika?
