Dotdispenser 12 Posted January 21, 2019 Has anyone else had acid reflux without heartburn? All the time I get this weird feeling like something is coming up into my throat/upper chest that gets worse when I lie down. I’ve also been burping a lot whenever this happens. This morning (after sleeping propped up) I woke up nauseated. Never had this before and I am slightly freaked. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
clearhead 129 Posted January 21, 2019 Yes. I have reflux without heartburn. My gastro doctor said that the acid does not stay long enough in my esophagus to irritate it. Therefore my symptoms are throat and mouth. The tissue in our esophagus is more resilient to the acid as opposed to the tissue in our throat and mouth.

bin_tenn 1252 Posted January 21, 2019 Didn't realize you double posted, I replied to the first. Yes, reflux is quite common. Try an OTC antacid such as Tums. If that doesn't work, or if symptoms persist or get worse, speak to your doc. He/she can evaluate further, recommend lifestyle changes, etc, and may consider putting you on a PPI for a little while.
