I was in supermarket with dgs in trolley and about threequarters of the way round when without warning a load of acid came up my throat and i managed to swallow it back down but i then couldn't breathe and was doubled over the trolley wheezing like mad...i was on the verge of passing out but just holding on as i was worried about dgs (who was cackling his head off at my predicament)

I thought I was having some sort of serious attack and didn't know what to do...after a few minutes I managed to go to the till and let the checkout lady pack for me telling her I felt really ill and took my coat off as I was really hot and dizzy and shaky

a couple of hours later I felt normal again

and incidentally if you had seen me would you have offered assistance..no one did although there was a lady shopping next to me when it started..

Hi zippitippitoes. Sorry can't help with what happened but sounds awful. Sad You poor thing, and I can't believe no one stopped to see if you were ok. I know the feeling of acid coming up, maybe if was wind and when you tried to swallow it 'went the wrong way' ?

Hope it doesn't happen again.

Aw zippie, poor you!
How are you feeling today?
Sound like a nasty turn indeed are you otherwise well?
