Does Acis Reflux Cause Tightness In Chest When Laying Down? Posted: 11-12-07 14:16pm
I have been suffering from tightness in
the chest a couple of seconds after laying
down and i have trouble breathing through
this. It only lasts a couple of secoinds
but it also happens when i laugh too much
or too hard, sneeze stand up after i have
been sitting/laying down for a while. Does
this sound like acid reflux?

Yes it can. In fact it is a good idea to
never lay down for at least an hour after
you have eaten. I have had some of my
worst attacks going to bed right after
dinner or bending over to pick something
up off the floor and all of a sudder Wham!
You can feel that acid coming up into your
throat. One time jsut recently, it was so
bad, I thought my throat was on fire. I
was diagnosised three years ago.
