acid reflux? – VerticalSleeveTalk

Ok, so I had my first “solid” meal last night. I had chips,pico de gallo and some tosdada around 7. They didn’t have soup and I was experimenting with solids. Probably not the best choice for a first solid meal (7 pm). For this, I’m already regretting the choice and should have probably stuck with beans or rice. I was awoken this morning (4:30) after only had gone to bed around 2:45 with a burning in my throat. The bitter taste and burn in my throat literally worked it’s way into the storyline of my dream. I immediately thought it was the dreaded “L” word and looked for all the signs and symptoms for leaking. My HR is normal, temp normal, incisions fine. I think I’m in the clear as far as that is concerned.

Is this frothing? My nose is also really runny. Like REALLY runny. I took the Omeprazol 20 (acid reducer) and a bit of milk of magnesia to help a bit and it’s seemed to have calmed it down. I still feel the need to clear my throat of the burn and metallic taste and I think I’m still producing some bile. I have the need to cough a bit and my nose just won’t quit. My spit is clear and of normal texture and not tinted yellow or red.

Would the body take this long to produce this much  stomach acids? I didn’t lay down after I ate and it’s been hours. Wouldn’t I feel the symptoms around 10-12? I’m just scared and I’m starting to feel like a hypochondriac.

Back to pureed soups and liquids for me. This experience really scared me.

Anyone else have this experience? My friend experiences a runny nose at the time of eating to let her know she’s basically to capacity. This is hours and hours and hours later. Also, the Omeprazol usually is after I awaken. This is the first time I’ve ever had anything like this happen.
