Re: Aspirating...

[Guest guest]

I constantly asperaate and worse at night and I sleep

practically sitting up and it still can happen. When

it's acid I drink soda diluted in water and gargle

with it as it is very painful and usually I go on

antibiotics for a round. Now that I know it is aacm

related I am more aware of the electrical current in

the back of my throat not that it does me any good but

I am also on a Proton inhibitor---Nexius which heals

the esophagus and lowers my stomach acid and I take

extra Pepcid at night. I had a complete gastric work

up by a gastrointerologist. I'm praying for

improvement to this problem after surgery. Hugs Debby
