I've been diagnosed with Gerd which is a far more terrible illness than I would have imagined. It's even messing with my breathing, but now I am not able to lay down after meals. This has lead me to discover that I get very tired after meals and I was wondering if any of you get the same? sad

Have you been checked for diabetes? I'm diabetic and if I eat too many carbs I'm very tired after eating.

I was a few years ago, but it has been a long time now and my mother has diabetes. I'll have to ask my doctor about it thank you Sherrine. :)

I was diagnosed with Gerd several years ago. It was affecting my breathing. I had special surgery to fix my esophageal spincter in 2009. I've been Gerd free ever since. You need to get it checked out and see if surgery is right for you.

I would love to have the surgery for it couchtater. I have to wait until July 3rd until I can see the ent dr again. I've been getting crackling in my ears and can't breathe through my nose at all after six every night yet I have no allergies or anything wrong with my nose. It's been months of repeat sinus infections and asthma attacks. I've had to go to the er so many times. I almost passed out in the shower once from an asthma attack as well. I'm really scared so i hope they listen to me and let me have the surgery to fix all this since I've tried 5 medications now and either can't handle them or they don't work.

Best of luck to you in getting the surgery. It's not the easiest of surgeries to recover from but well worth it.

While you are waiting to see the ENT dr. I recommend trying an elimination diet. You may be eating something that you are allergic to without knowing it. I found that cow's milk dairy was causing a lot of those same symptoms and once I stopped consuming it I was able to breathe through my nose again.

Namian that sounds like a great idea. I'd really like to try it, but I'm afraid I have to be careful since I've lost about 15 pounds without trying to recently and have been feeling a bit weak. I think I'll try to do less or no dairy if I can at first. I don't know if it's the acid reflux or the asthma, but I just haven't been very hungry at all lately.
