How can I prevent waking up choking at night from acid reflux when medicines like Eno and Digene are not helping, and I have also had throat irritation for two weeks?
Since over-the-counter options like Eno and Digene aren't providing relief, your symptoms and throat irritation suggest you may need stronger acid-suppressing medication, such as a generic proton pump inhibitor, which a doctor can prescribe. To help tonight, try elevating the head of your bed by six inches using blocks, avoid eating or drinking anything besides water for three hours before sleeping, and try sleeping on your left side. Please consult a healthcare professional soon so they can examine your throat and find the right treatment to help you sleep safely and comfortably.
