I woke up last night gasbing for air, I couldn't breath. It felt like i had vomit in my throat
it was burning so bad it took my breath away. It was really scary. Could this be acid reflux?

Your symptoms can be due to reflux including the breathing symptoms. If they occur again, are particularly worrying you or get worse you should see a doctor to diagnose the exact cause. While it is possible that it is due to reflux you do not want to amke an assumption and not get treated for whatever the true cause is.

It sounds like it could be, but the breathing sounds like asthma you should get checked for that.
