Hi. I have LPR/GERD

at times I wake up and my chest, throat, and, airways at clentched. This makes it difficult to breathe until they both relax a few seconds later. I usually almost always notice that I’m having acid reflux after.

It feels like a clenching pressure, if that makes sense.

It's very common for acid reflux to move into the esophagus during sleep causing breathing difficulty. You might ask your doctor if he suggest you taking something like Pepcid at bedtime, that should help.
