reflux

I think i suffer with reflux, and a few days ago i had a reaction whilst asleep, i woke up and found it almost impossible to breath, this episode lasted for about 5 + minutes and was quite frightening, my chest/lungs felt as though i was unable to breath, obviously some oxygen must have been getting to my lungs, but it didn't feel as if this was the case, and i was unable to talk in a coherent manner ?
I would really appreciate some input.

Many thanks

Phil
