I was put on another medication today because I went back to the dr.
She told me that this is, At least in my Case, brought on by my diet. My stomach can not digets the foods(fats) and it has been sitting in my stomach for a long time, they don't know how long but there is quite a build up. So when I eat I contracts trying to push out the stuff that is in there and my stomach can not do anything so the stuff that I just ate will just sit there also. When I lay down or take the Nitroglycerin it relaxes the spasams in my throat & stomach but it also causes a problem. The acids are coming up and that is when I have to clear my throat and cough(that is what you were saying eh?) I have a hard time explaining But she says that this new med will take at least 2 months to start working. She also suggested going to a specialist(sorry I do not know how to spell the title of the dr.) But like I said before I do not have insurance so it makes it hard to do that.

My doctor said that when she has patients like this she usually puts them on a Low fat high carb diet because the carbs are digested first. I told her that I would cut back on some of my fat but I was not going to eat carbs. She says that is fine.

Marie, like you she also suggested the brick under the bed and extra pillows.
