Q: I have a friend that almost choked to death, the acid was foamy and he could not breath

my friend has acid reflux, he is in great health, not overweight, and yesterday he had acid come up in his mouth that was foamy, it caused him to choke, and he was almost in an asthma attack, and it took him an hour to recover.  he found out that he had a hernia in his throat a while back.

He is wondering if this attack was from his hernia or if it could be from something else?
