  Yes PND = post nasal drip...

I understand and I have had PND so think I could not breath....this is y I asked about this issue....

U may want to talk to ur Drs about using a med that may help  just in case it is allergy based.

sorry but is pnd post nasal drip lol sorry its pretty scary

[selmaS]

  Yes, I am aware u may have the symptoms during the day as well, but to help u sleep better .....

it is possible that during the day u have PND as a result of the GERD that can cause thick mucus to block breathing....

It is important since u have this symptom that u get testing to know y u have it and treat it.

actually i forgot i can have it during day when im awake

[misscutie1]

thank u

  Hi...this can be a typical symptom for GERD/acid reflux so trying to sleep in a bed that is elevated may help....but Baed is right it could also indicate Sleep apnea and u do not want to ignore that so do see ur Dr asap and have testing to determine which it is.

One should be careful though because this could be a symptom of sleep apnea as well.

This used to happen to me before I even knew I had GERD. I would wake up in coughing fits and gasping for air. About a month later, I was diagnosed with GERD/LPR and put 2 and 2 together, and realized that's what all that was about.

Hey can you give me any information how you cured your lpr? I’ve been struggling and have tried everything.
