I have acid reflux. Over the past couple
of years I have a popping sound in my
throat when I lie down. Sometimes it
sounds like popping bubbles. Anyone else
with acid reflux/gerd have this?

I get that popping sound too when I lie
down sometimes. Usually with the intake of
every breath or when I exhale.
Not sure what it is though

I have bad /sever acid reflux, but I never
had the popping sound. I heard its popular
though in Acid Reflux sufferers.

Popping Sound Posted: 02-02-08 23:39pm
I'm going through a period where I have so
many weird, seemingly unrelated symptoms
that I'm in constant anxiety. One of
these things is this popping sound in the
throat when laying in bed... Since misery
loves company, I was actually thrilled to
see someone else even mention this
symptom. I have a hiatal hernia and have
been taking Prilosec for acid reflux for
the past year or so. Sometimes I try not
taking the Prilosec and it seems like its
worse than ever; I've read that the acid
can actually increase because it's been
"artifically" inhibited... based on my
exper it seems this is true. Anyhow, thx
for sharing the popping info; I still
don't know what is causing it but I feel
better that I'm not alone.

Sorry to blow the theory out of the water.... Posted: 04-16-08 02:30am
...I don't have acid reflux, but I DO
experience this popping sound in my
throat. Sometimes, in the still of night,
it happens with every breath and I swear
if someone listened carefully enough
they'd be able to hear it too! I get to
the stage where I'm listening for it and,
as was the case last night, when it
happened for a couple of hours, my sleep
is suffering as a result. Any suggestions?

I've had this too.. but also gurgling
noises, even when upright. I shouldn't be
proud of this, but I can burp like I
breath out of my lungs...
It started from taking too many pain
killers.. or I should say, enough pain
killers over a long period of time (they
were for an unrelated ailment). They
caused my stomach to produce more acid,
which in turn attacked the sphincter it my
throat. The acid then flowed up and
damaged much of the tubing. Small lumps
formed which obstructed the flow of food
making it hard to swallow, and making me
feel like I was gaging near constantly.
Simple solution.. don't eat so much meat,
lay off any drugs (like pain killers), and
eat watermelon, lemons, grapefruit (pretty
much any normally acidic foods - they end
up causing your body to produce a base to
digest them).
After few days like this, my problems
started fading, and only a few weeks
later, they were gone. Hope everyone else
has similar luck.
So, now I get the benefit of easy burping,
without the trouble of acid reflux or
esophagus pharengeal (or however you spell
it) problems.

I have very similar problems. I thought at
first the popping noise was a bronchial
problem. Not so. Between the
popping/gurgling noise, I too can put most
men or beer drinkers to shame in the way I
belch. My husband thinks it is funny.
However, recently I had shoulder surgery
and have taken my share of pain meds and
prior to that I sucked up a lot of
ibuprofen and aspirin. The extremely
early morning pain and discomfort is
sometimes unbearable.
I am glad to here that maybe more fruit
and less meat may be the clue to some
relief. I will try anything at this point
as the Nexium is not doing the trick.
Thanks for the clue.
