Question?????

 Got a question for the vets. I ate fairly late last night and I woke up around 1:30am with a burning sensation in my throat. It tasted like bile( throw up). Do you think it was me vomiting in my sleep? Is it because I ate so late or did I eat too much? Just dont want to feel that again.  

UGH! 

 ... Could be acid reflux.... Sometimes worse when you eat late and lay flat ......

Yup, happens to me if i eat too much too late. 

I am not a vet, but I have experienced that when my reflux is out of control. My surgeon told me not to eat at least 2 hours prior to going to bed and to sleep with my head slightly elevated if it's comfortable. I have noticed that eating too close to lying down makes my reflux worse.

I get it too if I eat right before going to bed.

Yep, reflux. I don't have this, but hubby (not a surgery patient) does and he won't eat closer than about 2 hours before bedtime. If he even wants to take a nap during the day and has eaten he takes an antacid.

I can almost count on reflux if I eat before going to bed. Even worse if I eat a lot or it is spicy. The waking up with the burn, and aspirating some so you choke isn't a lot of fun and better to avoid if possible.
