It sounds like reflux to me also. Not to add to your anxiety, but severe chronic reflux can cause definite medical problems, so as others suggested you should get this checked out. Also, avoid alcohol near bedtime (it interferes with 'sphincter' function between the stomach and esophagus, which is supposed to prevent reflux from occurring). Debbi who is glad you didn't suck down a lungful of stomach acid, 'cause *that* is one nasty pneumonia-inducer! (well, technically it's a "chemical pneumonitis," but that sets up a banquet for various bugs to enjoy...) __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo!
