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.

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.

...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.

Same problem here only I find myself hearing it like it's my heartbeat or a dripping noise coming out of my throat. mostly sitting up and I catch myself with my mouth open and my throat is relaxed. I too have acid reflux and didn't notice I had it untill the dr. put me on Nexium and I forgot to take it one day. Felt like my stomach was on fire. It was perscribed due to erosion of the esophagus by the acid creaping up at nite. I find that the zantac works just as well and is alot cheaper. Still no solution to the popping though.

I am getting this popping bubbly sound as well, I have had acid reflux in the past but now it only tends to flare up when I drink alcohol. However I still get this Popping bubble thing even if I don't have heartburn at all, mostly at night when I am sleeping. Does anyone else have the sounds even when not accompanied by heartburn or reflux. They feel like they travel down my throat a little too??
