Sometimes you hear of people who slept and never woke up and today, i almost experienced the same thing and honestly, if i had not woken up the time i did, i am pretty sure it would have been a sad story.

so this morning i was very hungry. I didn't eat much yesterday night or during the day, so the hunger was very intense. you know those morning hunger that comes with torture na.

i then decided to cook something. my initial intention was to buy noodles (hungry man) and cook but when i got to the store, i saw macaroni and i just thought to myself, it has been long i ate macaroni o. so i bought it and came home to prepare it instead.

i cooked this with beans and everything. Honestly i made it better than i expected considering the lack of fish. and the money was like my last card.

but it was delicious anyways. so i ate a good portion from the food. i was filled but had to fetch a second servings for myself because i really enjoyed it.

that was the mistake i made. that second serving. my stomach began to pain me not so much to call it stomach ache. but just enough for me to be in distress.

so i said let me lie down. i placed my phone on a phone stand and lay belle flat on the floor with my face down on the pillow. Combined with the overfed belle, omo naso sleep carry me o.

only for me to wake up suddenly like 10 minutes later struggling to breathe.

I was shocked and confused at the same time and scared. very scared because my chest was burning, it's like the acid in my stomach all moved to my chest and lungs.

you know that pain that comes with something getting into your airway when you eating? that's exactly the kind of pains i was in. i could literally fill the food moving from my stomach back to my throat and almost in my mouth.

Till this evening i can still fill the taste in my mouth, my chest is still burning and i am still scared of going to eat the food even though i am currently very hungry.

sometimes, i just wonder, what if i hadn't woken up by the time i did? because the moment i woke up, i stood up and had to maintain that standing position for a while even though i was feeling dizzy and irritated. this helped to push the food down.

it took me a while to understand that i was regurgitating probably because i slept on a filled stomach. much like squeezing an air filled balloon, but in this case, the content of my stomach was been pushed out by the force of my weight on it against the ground.

honestly, the experience could have gone really bad because the food could have rushed into my lungs and caused severe respiratory distress with people coming it to find food acid rushing out of my mouth and nostrils

If it was easy to know what killed some people after it happened, many of us won’t make such mistakes. Thank GOD that you survived it, don’t do it again

Thank God for your life
Overfeeding is the major cause of most Acid reflux cases.

Like my dad will say” Always eat in the right proportion “ cause food can cause sickness too.

Don't eat and lie down again. Sit or take a walk.

You are supposed to lie on your side (especially left side) or with your head a bit elevated

Seriously o

And sometimes it's silly little mistakes that kill more

Is beans not gassy enough?

U dey speak English o.

Both of them sweet just as beans sweet with spaghetti 🙂

To my understanding, you sleeping on your belly is the main cause of the problem,I always lie down face up after eating and I don't experience any issue,I always sleep face up.

Lol

The beans caused the issue. You need to always perboil beans to remove toxins from it. Or else it would feel like you consumed poisoning.

I once have a similar experience. I cooked beans, unripe plantain, palmoil and some protein.
I ate to my feel. After a while trouble started.
Was taken to the hospital and admitted.

Always perboil some of those beans

I guess this is your first GERD experience. Welcome to the club. You were able to explain the situation flawlessly. I eat heavily so it’s commonplace for me. Almost ten years and counting now. A doctor said I should sleep four hours after eating. The thing catches me seven hours after eating sometimes. The only solution for me is exercising every morning while eating reduced calories or eating only twice daily.

only for me to wake up suddenly like 10 minutes later struggling to breathe.

I was shocked and confused at the same time and scared. very scared because my chest was burning, it's like the acid in my stomach all moved to my chest and lungs.

Expecially fake beans.

a very good match. Very delicious. Though I don't eat those pasters anymore.

I always per boil my beans. You know I'm from a farming village so I'm aware of the preservatives we use in cooking beans.

So I cook my beans alone first, drain that water out, then boil again before adding anything like rice or spaghetti.

I'm guessing it's the way I laid down after eating

Glad you're working on yourself.

Honestly this is my first experience. We've been taught GERD in 400l med school but I never imagined it to be this way

Acid reflux and stomach bloat experience at night is always scary....I try my best not to eat late at night..most time several farting can ease the bloating and reflux

Na food for take kpai you


That burning sensation is your stomach acid making its way into your windpipe. It burns don’t it.
Stomach acids are very strong, keep it halal next time. Eat in portions, and on time.

Please you have to stop this practice, don't sleep after eating but if you must sleep on your left side. Always sit for a while after eating its important you do this, that you are good doesn't mean you should not rest before sleeping.

Per boil all beans and wash it thoroughly before cooking reason been that these dudes use chemicals that are harmful to humans to preserve beans don't know why they still do this in today's World.

Only you from farming village & went to med school ok
You slept (lay down) immediately after eating.. Is acid reflux a joke to you?
Never do this but if you must, do so on your back with head raised 30, 45 or 60 degrees short term.

Op how can you want to finish one park of makaron and ten cups of beans in one sitting

Una funny o. So because I grew up farming in the village I can't be in med school? Guy every holiday I still go back to the village to farm. Where u think say money for school dey come from?

A simple 2 or 3 day fast will heal you. Give your digestive system a break to heal itself

3 things involved. 1. Your choice of diet and the combo. 2. Overfeeding is wrong. 3. After eating, you should walk for like 15min to allow the food digest well in your body before you rest
