Waking up to bad taste in mouth. ANYONE

Posted , 4 users are following.

Ladies for the past 3 mornings i have been waking up to a bad taste in my mouth. Hard to explain maybe sour and toxic mixed together. It was so bad i wanted to vomit. I brush every night before i go to bed and this has been the first time ever experiencing this. I have been having acid reflex for the past week very bad and wondering if it can be the problem or is this just a part of peri and meno ? Thanks

    Hi

    I think you will probably find its part of the acid reflux. I wake up with a bitter taste in mouth also. I have been getting bad acid reflux for about six months which causes blocked nose and hoarseness. I am on medication and have had a barrier swallow and no hernia detected. Will probably have to have more tests.Wedge pillows help to an extent and stopping eating 3 hours before bed helps.

      Hi Michelle

      I feel for you its horrible!

      I am post menopause about a year. The acid reflux started about two months in. Did your acid reflux stop and then start again? Ive lost weight due to having to watch what to eat all the time! Did u have any tests?

      Hi Michelle

      How are you? Hows the reflux?

      You said you lost weight with the acid reflux. How much did you lose? Ive lost about a stone so far. I think its because ive got to watch what i eat all the time!

    Hey Sally, that sounds like acid reflux symptoms. I know in years past they always used to tell people to sleep on two pillows, but do not do that. When I had my gallbladder removed, the doctor said not to do that because it bends the esophagus, which makes the acid get stuck and actually causes scar tissue. There are these risers, I think that’s what they’re called, you can get basically at any store Walmart, Target etc. and you put them at the bottom, bedpost, at the top of the bed. Also try taking milk thistle, it is amazing for Liver detox and also indigestion. I take it in the morning and at bed time. try to stay away from sugar and caffeine and whatever you do don’t eat after 6pm, that is the kiss of death for bad indigestion in the evening 😉 hope this helps 😃
