I have a family history of gerd and have had to make lifestyle changes to avoid the consequences of leaving it unchecked. I try not to eat too late in the evening before bed, but fuckin munchies man, they’ll get ya! Barely drink alcohol anymore, cut back on soda intake heavily. And eat more whole foods than processed foods. I guess I didn’t take into consideration that being excessively messed up either drunk or passed out on opiates would somehow allow someone to sleep through that, but me I wake up instantly just as or before it happens. My last two episodes were after eating absolute garbage, like soda, candy, and extra butter popcorn at the movies. And sure enough I had a late night visit from the puke fairy.^^^ This is the reason I sleep in a chair ^^^
Due to alcohol ( professional drinker 30 years ) I have a condition where the sphincter muscles in the esophagus will not seal and they leak gastric acid when sleeping level. 2 times I woke up choking with lungs burning. It was 1000 times worse than sleep apnea as that just makes me gasp wake up and go pee. (;CPAP works for that )
Gastric leakage into the lungs will cause long term damage. You will gasp and every inch of air will burn like fire until you clear it out.
6 years ago I dropped alcohol and opioids for Cannabis. Damage has not repaired.
I could totally see this sending someone off.
