Hi! I just joined the site. I am having problems with waking up in the middle of the night gasping for breathe. I have been told that I have GERD, so I am sleeping on a wedge pillow. However, none of my doctors have been able to figure out why I am doing this at night. This has been happening for over 1 year and I have been to many doctors, so today, I decided to look on the web and found someone else on this site has the same problem. Please respond and let me know if this is a lupus problem and what do we do about it? I have not been tested for Lupus, but I am now thinking about it, since my regular GERD doctor, ear, nose, and throat doctor are all confused on why each night I wake up choking and gasping. I have also seen a sleep doctor that told me I was fine. However, of course this didn't happen that night. I would love to hear back from someone that shares this problem. I feel very isolated since the doctors are clueless.
Thanks a bunch!
