heartburn in the middle of the night

I've started waking up in the middle of the night, really early morning with intense heartburn and feeling like my ribs are being crushed. Anyone else have similar experience and what's your relief?

I had this problem, I would choke on bile in the middle of the night. Finally asked the doctor and they gave me nexium for the acid reflux and reglan for nausea. I haven't had issues since then but I am afraid to stop taking the nexium. Luckily I am almost done.

For the past month or 2 I have been waking up in the middle of the night usually between 2-5AM and I start to wheeze about 15 minutes later. I have to sit up or walk around and it goes away in almost exactly an hour later,then I fall back asleep and i'm totally fine. I have no symptoms during the day. I have none at night nor have no symptoms when I lay down to go to bed I fall asleep just fine.

Heartburn is due to gastric acid, this can happen in the breast bone (the bone in the middle both left and right of the rib cage, also know as the esophagus. This can be like burning sensation or pain which feels like near the heart. If this occurs often you may have GERD. If you feel at somepoint when you burp or breath out, you taste and feel acid appear up your throat and mouth. That is a sign of GERD, coughing and difficulty swollowing may occur in later stages, if left untreated.

Hey ladies, since I found out that I'm pregnant. I wake up in the middle of the night. Does that happen to any one else?

Every woman is different. I never got up in the middle of the night to use the restroom until about 29 weeks, but even then I only get up once and then once when I wake up for the day. Some women wake up 5+ times.

My husband has had the shaking in the middle of the night off and on for about a year. Has any one found out what this is caused by. Could it be stress or low blood sugar. Please reply if you have any answers.

Hace a wee bowl.of cereal before bed. Did the trick for me. Im 22 wks now and there are days I want to eat us out house and home so them days I'll have cereal before bed and there's no hunger at night. Not sayin it works for everyone but worth a try!

Hi!! I'm not a medical professional, just the parent of a kid with diabetes. Technically there is nothing wrong with eating in the middle of the night as long as he takes appropriate insulin for the carbs he's eating. Eating in the middle of the night, though, is not the best for your health in general, and that's confirmed by his weight gain. You don't say how much he exercises. I would suggest that you offer to be his workout buddy.

I've tried to ignore having to pee in the middle of the night but I feel like it hurts worse if I don't. I get up at least twice to pee at night and then all during the day. She's right on my bladder!

I have been woken in the middle of the night with PVCs on plenty of occasions. However, last night while sleeping peacefully, I was woken up with a terrible feeling in my chest and actually jumped up and shook my husband. My heart was beating fine, by then, and I couldn't figure out what it had been doing. It was going a little fast, but that can be normal for certain stages of sleep. I know something alerted me to wake up and feel like death was imminent. This never happened before.

he too would wake up in the middle of the night to vomit...sometimes it was just nausea as well..(night time vomiting was less than daytime)...he had every GI test under the sun...so his NS felt confident that it was the Chiari. Hope this helps.

FOR YEARS, I THOUGHT I WAS JUST NUTS. I DIDNT SHARE THIS WITH ANYONE. I WILL WAKE UP IN THE MIDDLE OF THE NIGHT AND JUST EAT, HALF THE TIME NOT EVEN REMEMBERING THE NEXT MORNING,UNTIL I SEEN WRAPPERS OR A HALF DRANK GLASS OF MILK BESIDE MY BED... AND IT WAS USUALLY THINGS LIKE DOUGHNUTS, COOKIES, ETC. THINGS I NORMALLY DONT EVEN LIKE DURING THE DAY. ?? I STILL SUFFER WITH THIS PROBLEM, NEVER FOUND ANY RELIEF. DID FIND A COUPLE PEERS ONLINE THAT I TALKED TO, BUT NEVER ANY FIX.

Yesterday I finally convinced my husband to sleep in the living room and so she went to bed crying a little but not so bad...in the middle of the night she woke up again crying shouting and screaming but after a while she went back to sleep by herself cause anyone was in her bedroom so she knew she couldn't have anything from anyone. I just went once to reassure her and then I came out quickly not staying too long. Then nothing at all.she slept through and woke up this morning at 9.

s often a misconception that the heart is on the left side of the chest and therefore when you have pain there it must be the heart. A good portion of the heart is actually towards the middle of the chest. Often, pain on the left side of the chest actually turns out to be related to the stomache or esophagus, as that's where they connect. What I suggest is you go to see your doctor, that way he/she can give you a physcial exam to rule out any medical issues.

Thank you so very much for taking out time to answer or through light to my question. The pain has being there for sometime now, when you touch the spot tenderl its so painful and even a slight pressure is applied. Of late it gets worse at night when I lay my head to sleep, sometimes I'm awoken by the pain in the middle of the night which make my head fell heavy and sometimes the pain comes done to my face like its being pulled. Though sometimes I feel the area and it does feel swollen.

I had to take some zofran after being off of it since middle of 2nd trimester. The abs part was explained to me as being BH. Feels like I should have a 6 pack by the time baby comes out with all the ab exercises I have been doing naturally with the BH...lol As for the laying part, try putting some padding on the bed. I have 4 inches worth of padding just to help a bit. The left side is better or else no matter what I will have HORRIFIC heartburn. You're almost there!!!

For the past few years I have had bouts of what I call sleepeating.....when anyone else in the house would be sleeping i would wake up at all hours of the night, grab really bad food and sneak away and just shove it all in my mouth. When I would wake up I would feel awful about myself ansd so frusterated because i felt out of control. I felt like I couldn't stop. It has gotton a little better,where it is happening less often but Iam still faced with this problem. Any advice.....
