Sleeping with sour throat signals hidden acid reflux
The article explains that a sour taste in the throat when sleeping is a silent sign of hidden reflux disease. This condition involves the reflux of stomach contents into the esophagus and throat without clear heartburn. It often results from a weak or relaxed lower esophageal sphincter. Symptoms may include a sour taste in the mouth, frequent coughing, hoarseness, or a feeling of a lump in the throat, especially at night. It is recommended to avoid eating just before bedtime and to elevate the head during sleep to reduce symptoms. Monitoring foods that may trigger the condition, such as coffee, fatty foods, and carbonated drinks, is also advised. Repeated symptoms warrant medical evaluation, as they could indicate hidden reflux disease, which may not always be accompanied by the sensation of heartburn.
