Hi Addy,

I can relate. I have had GERD for the past 12 years. I tried Aciphex, but it caused mouth ulcers and I was switched to Protonix. From past posts, I gathher that reflux is quite common among apnea sufferers. Another thing that helps is putting the head of your bed on blocks about 5 to 6 inches high. My reflux has improved somewhat since I started C-Pap. If you are like me, you should lose weight...no chocolate, no pizza, no barbeque...what is left?
