Twice since I've been sleeved I feel like I'm having horrid reflux that almost makes me feel like I'm choking. The worst part is the medicine taste so I'm wondering if I'm taking my BP meds too close to bedtime and they don't dissolve enough and reflux back up. It's a horrid feeling and I can't get the taste out of my throat. I started taking them a few hours before bedtime now. But then it happened again last night.
