Okay... this is my second time that happened.

Last Thanksgiving, I was choked on my own vomit but I managed to get it out of my mouth. I was violently shook myself, I felt hot burning inside me, through it was not a high fever. But, at the same time, I felt so cold at outside. At first time, I thought it was just some minor sickness or something.

But, today, I woke up at 4:30 am. I can't breath very well, I felt so burning in my stomach and so cold at outside. A bit later, around 4:45 am, I shakily shook and then I was currently choked on my own vomit. But I got it out of me. I am so scared and can't sleep, through I am very tired. I cried... I did call someone to support me-- for make sure. I try to breath more easier a bit.

Now, it seems I am okay. I hope so. I am going to rest up as much as I could, but I will have call my doctor soon-- this morning, when it is open. Here, it is only 5:20 am.

Sighs. :(
 
I think I am okay now. But, I told someone if I feel worse again in a bit while later, I definitely need to go to the ER right now. I read something now as I try to calm myself down and not to worry so much.
 
Hope you are ok. I hope you will get an appointment with doctor. Just play it safe to have doctor to check it out. If doctor cant find anything wrong. Keep asking tons of questions with what ifs and google it to see if it matches your experineces.

Feel better.
 
Hope your doctor can figure out what is wrong. That sounds very scary.
 
You need to find out what causing you to vomit, that is very scary vomiting in your sleep. I am glad you're OK now, do you live alone ? I hope you live with someone so they can wake you if start doing this again.

There could be a numbers of reasons why this happening, she need to see a doctor right away to see if anything if anything wrong. I hope is nothing serious.
 
Same here...hope it's not serious....do you have severe acid reflux?...Symptoms of the stomach burning, vomiting, chills ....I'm just guessing here....but you need to have this checked out very soon. Good Luck.

that's something my dad had since he has a good gag reflex.
 
Until your dr's appointment, may I suggest you sleep with your head and upper body well elevated, as well as you can withstand it.

Use large European-like pillow and one regular pillow, or two large pillows.

This is to prevent the stomach content from traveling back into your esophagus
and causing you to have a gag reflex and God forbid, choking.

The most likely reason is, like someone said earlier, an acid reflux, or GERD.
What happens is the valve that normally is well closed to prevent the digested food from backing up into the upper parts of gastro-intestinal system
malfunction, and doesn't close properly, spilling the acid back, which cause this hot- burn and other symptoms.

The dr should recommend a gastroscopy for you.

I hope it's only an occasional thing for you, though.

Thank you, Fizzy! That is so helpful! Maybe, I have that. Not sure.

By the way, I want to clarity something I said. I know I didn't think so straight when I typed on my laptop. My apology. I just said I have to call my doctor this morning, in fact, which I did.

My appointment is on this Thursday. I hope it is nothing so serious. :(

I hope so also. But the person who said food poisoning might have a good idea, since the first time it happened to you was a Thanksgiving. There is a lot of food and eating all day then so many people get food poisoning especially if food was not refrigerated quickly enough.

KarissaMann I hope the doctor can help you. Good luck at your appointment. My dad has to sleep elevated due to acid reflex, I understand he could have surgery, but he choose not to.
 
Okay, I might have it that is what Fuzzy provided the factual information. I got a few medicines for that. Hope that gets better! :fingersx:

I have acid reflux and take Omepranole, 50mgs for it, 1 a day...It's great!...I avoid spicy foods as much as possible, smoking/alcohol also.

I also sleep with my head elevated every night. It helps so much! Haven't had a bad episode in a long time!...Even tho' there are meds over the counter for acid reflux, something as severe as you talked about, should be handled with ur doctor and a doctor's prescrition, such as I have...


Good Luck!
