This is my 3rd pregnancy (30 weeks), and I have always suffered with heartburn at night - and Gaviscon usually resolves it.
But for the past week or so, I keep repeatedly being woken up with heartburn and a sore throat (which the acid has caused, I suppose - lovely!), and what I can only describe as tight and sore lungs! This brings on a coughing fit, and I feel quite short of breath for a couple of minutes. It is really unpleasant, and lasts a few minutes. I am having to sleep with about 5 pillows, so am basically sitting upright - as lying down brings on more heartburn/coughing.
I am exhausted from waking up all the time. Any tips on what I can do?
Would it help the heartburn to basically no eat anything at all in the evening?
