And if you want even more information, I had the GERD stomach surgery back in September (Laproscopic Nissen Fundoplication, to be exact).
Not that you want to be thinking about that, I'm sure.
I'll admit that I never had that particular symptom of GERD. But I would wake up in the middle of the night and think that someone was trying to pick me up with an old-time ice block grabber-thingie.

I had tests to see if I could have that surgery. My main problem was eating. My esophagus wasn't working rhythmically; food would go so far down and stop. Not a great feeling.
The doctor said the surgery would not help me. I'm kind of glad. I'm not afraid of surgeries, I've been cut open six times now, but I just didn't like what they proposed.
Why did I get AR at 33? Switching from my poor diet to a (supposedly) good diet when I started biking? Is it my weight, that I gained after switching to the good diet? Some thing will never be answered.
