I just woke up now, coughing and spitting up burning acid from my nose and throat having a hard time breathing. Now my nose is so stuffed that I cannot breathe in or out of it, due to the acid causing it to swell over. My pronblem is that I never know when this is going to happen. I have been told several prevention remedies including taking acid reflux pills (which by far seem to be the best preventive measures to take) but I haven't had anyone tell me what I can do for instant relief and right now I just had one of the worst attacks I've ever had and I'm basically panicing because I don't know what I can do after this kind of an attack (lie down and go to sleep and try to breath through my mouth and hope it will clear up by morning and hope that another attack does not happen because I might asphyxiate since my sinuses are swollen closed as of this moment and do not seem to ease up or I could just sit up and try to forget about it at five o'clock in the morning). I have been blowing this stuff out of my nose since the attack but still cannot breath through my nose. What can I do to get an immediate relief from the nasal swelling? I have a nebulizer in which I use albuterol and was wondering if that might help loosen up the swelling, Or possibly some sort of a nasal spray... someone let me know. Sorry this seems so desperate but I do get panic attacks from it.
