[QUOTE="Dansk, post: 134371, member: 4721"] I would ask, what time is your last meal of day? How long prior to bedtime is it? There was a time this was happening to me, I would wake up in a major panic, it was odd because my sleep has always been great, and this was now happening maybe 1x-2x a week. Then I though It might be a blood sugar thing but I ruled this out. (just didn't make sense) Lastly I realized what it was. I was eating my dinner and my chronic nightly routine after dinner would be on the floor stretching my body, I would do a lower back stretch by bringing my knees up to my chest and holding. Well that combined with the food in me, and then going to bed was causing SILENT REFLUX, I say silent because I wasn't getting any burning sensation, or typical reflux symptoms. I stopped stretching after eating, always complete my last meal no later than 3 hours before bed, and I elevated my head 30 degrees using a pillow designed for that and I have never had the problem again, and my sleep was even improved some. I do travel for work and use extra pillows to try to keep me elevated. I also saw a tv program of an MD who had this issue and she too was being woken up with major panic at night, and she realized it was reflux. So to summarize: Stretching with food in my belly, going to bed lying flat was causing me to wake up in a severe panic. Your HX of hiatel hernia this just may be the causing you to reflux at night. I would try elevating your body for a few weeks and see how it goes. [/QUOTE]
