Good advise @A MyCOPDTeam Member I have pretty serious Gerd all the time and take meds. Don't eat anything for 3-4 hours before bed and I sleep on a wedge pillow. Try not to eat anything that is a no-no for Gerd. That is hard to do when you love spicy and rich foods. The tiny sips of water is a great tip, thanks for that, I understand that Gerd is very common with COPD patients. @A MyCOPDTeam Member

Sometimes I throw up at night, but I don't take showers. . It has to do with what I eat, when I eat, how early I go to bed after eating, whether or not I take my Omeprazole or use 3 pillows. I have a few ideas about which vital organ is affected, but mainly I just try to do the smart things. Sometimes stress can put my tummy in a turmoil. While in bed, if you start feeling nauseous, taking tiny Tiny sips of water can ward off the vomiting. Sorry, this isn't a pretty comment, but it's better to go ahead and say it out loud.
