Guest guest Posted July 16, 2002 Report Share Posted July 16, 2002 Hey Debra, is it just a little bit (I know this is gross) the maybe a mouthful or less?? I have a hernia and Reflux and that happens to me, has when I had a full stomach and bent over. I think it might have happened a few times in my sleep, but I try not to eat anything that would upset my stomach close to be time or If I know I am going o have trouble I take a zantac. Now throws up in his sleep. I mean alot! Most of the time he would wake up, several times he slept though it and would scare me to death. He has had his (throat) tonsils removed a few years ago and he would actually stop breathing they were so big! I havent done this since I moved but I use to have a few bricks under the head of my head, it does help. Either way you vomit you still need to talk to your Dr. You can aspirate on very little. take care PamH Debra & snoring & Throwing Up !! > Good Day Gang !! > > I hope you are all doing good ... well .. as expected.

Guest guest Posted July 16, 2002 Report Share Posted July 16, 2002 Hi Pam: Thank you for responding. I have been living with this for at least five years now. When I wake up in the morning; sometimes I will find a little bit of vomit, on my night shirt or in my hair. I guess, like you stated, it really depends on what you eat during the day and especially from dinner to bed time. " It depends on what I eat, how much I vomit in my sleep. " I also know that it can cause you to have a pain in your chest. I thought I was having a heart attack. I was sweating with pain. did it ever hurt, I couldn't move. I ended up going to the hospital by ambulance. After they did a series of tests. It was my " Hiatus Hernia " (spelled wrong ?? ). It was triggered by me straining it. All I could think of was, that I washed my dog that day. I do take this seriously, it is scary !! I snore really really loud !!! Also sometimes I will wake myself up out of breath because I will be vomiting in my sleep. It is something that I do take prescription for and that my doctors do know about. My appointment with my Neurologist for the first time is August 2. I am hoping he will be able to help me more on this. I am getting nervous about the appointment as well. Thank you Pam.

I have been told " Really Loud " .> Debra, These were all things I had trouble with before decompression surgery last month. I didn't even attribute them to Chiari until I stopped having these problems post-op. I used to " choke on the air " sometimes too - start coughing/choking while just sitting there not eating...very embarrassing. A couple of times my throat seemed to close off while I had liquid in my mouth. It didn't feel too great when it came out of my nose.

Guest guest Posted July 16, 2002 Report Share Posted July 16, 2002 Hi Debra, A hiatus hernia occurs when the upper part of the stomach, which is joined to the oesophagus (gullet), moves up into the chest through the hole (called a hiatus) in the diaphragm. It is common and occurs in about 10 per cent of people. It is most commonly found in overweight, middle-aged women. I don't think it has anything to do with chiari.
