Thanks for the replies. I wonder if I might have this myself

. I don't get a lot of heartburn, especially if I avoid foods like sausage and hot spices, etc. But sometimes at night I get a kind of choking feeling when I lay down to go to sleep. I noticed that caffeine can aggrivated the situation. Does anyone get this when they lay down and try to go to sleep?
