I have a hiatus hernia, and have junk in my throat and a hourse voice sometimes.  Also have sinus probs so hard to tell which is problem.  But last night had a huge acid reflux come up burning my throat.  This is new.  And painful.  Today I can barely speak.  New to me, so is this like a regular sore throat that will heal in a couple of days?  Anyone any suggestions for easing it.  Wow, pretty uncomfortable.  Now I know what acid reflux really is.

    If you wake up horse is because of acid coming up in the throat, need to sleep with head of bed elevated at least 6 inches to prevent this, I got an adjustable frame which many mattress stores carry. I had to have surgery because the haital hernia was so large it was affecting many things and had gone 50% into chest. I pray the best for you.
