Oh I forgot to include. The stomach acid also caused me to not breath when my vocal cordes spasm during sleep. I would wake up in a panic because it felt like I couldn't breath. I had that for about a year prior to not being able to talk. The antacid really does a job on your digestive system and vocal coards. Another thing that helped was when I started taking an anti anxiety medication, stopped drinking whiskey and changed my diet away from foods that upset my stomach. I am trying to take better care of my body. We are trying our best to work as a team.
