panic in the esophagus
Jul. 13th, 2002 09:13 pmso, i had tasty lasagna for dinner tonite and then went to sleep to snooze for many hours before doing off-hours work in the morning on sunday.
except the lasanga triggered *vicious* reflux.
of course, i sleep with the cpap, which blows air down my nose making sure that my throat stays open clear up to my nose. so my guess is that the stomach acid made it as far up as my sinuses.
i woke up and couldn't breathe. i mean COULD. NOT. BREATHE. pulled the mask off. managed to wheeze thru my mouth a bit as i panicked and wondered if i should call 911. i figured out what had happened (just really bad reflux) and relaxed a bit and waited for the reflux experience to subside. i'm fine now.
but god DAMN. that was the worst reflux ever.
