I've only been dong the meds for two weeks. I have had a sour taste in my mouth since April and the doc. did suggest reflux at the time though I didn't note much help from Cimetidine. I have had a powerful gag refelex for the past 12 years or so that kicks in when I am feeling verystressed (had it longer but not as powerful) and can result in me feeling like I'm being choked and in my spewing my stomach contents usually when there is little in there so gastric juices no doubt...so perhaps some reflux but not to the degree you've had by the sounds of things..And what did you take for it??
>. You might feel severe heartburn, and burning in the back of your throat, or sour taste. It can make you gag or choke. Apparently it also causes the chords of the larynx to react protectively by spasming (is this a verb?) closed, which makes you feel like you are REALLY CHOKING. ... The vocal chord spasms are an acute reaction and the spasm ends. ... BTW, if the meds you are on might be causing low muscle tone, this might be an alternative possibility, rather than apnea caused by lowered tone.
