Near death by chocolate ?

Has this ever happened to anyone before ?
Last night I had eaten a small snack Snickers bar. I'm not sure why , but as soon as I had finished it.....yes I was un pain. It felt like I had swallowed a golf ball; so I went into the bath room to slim, to maybe relive the pressure some. Well I did slim a little but I still could feel some pressure . I was very tired, it was late, and so I went to sleep. I woke up in the middle of the night chocking and chafing. I had asperated on my own vomit. Every time I would chaf I would taste the snickers bar and vomit. This was coming up from my lungs. What would have happened if I would have taken a sleeping pill ; would I been able to wake up to clear my lungs ? I have desided that I will not ever eat anything that close to bed time again.....just in case it doesnt go down well.

p.s.

In case your wondering what was she thinking .... eating a snickers bar.
I was way below my 800 cal. count for food yesterday. Thats why I thought I would treat myself to a snack snickers bar.

Yup--It used to happen quite a bit. Horrible feeling! Now I never eat after 7pm and about an hour before I go to bed, I drink a glass of water to "rinse out" the pouch. That and Pepcid keeps the reflux at bay for the most part.

Wow, sounds like a tough night.

I would not judge you for eating a snickers bar so don't sweat that. Obviously, we all know it is not the best food choice, but I do believe anything in moderation.

The only thing I would take from this is to not eat a snickers bar again. Or if you did, eat it in very small bites and very slowly. It is not worth waking up to vomiting. I am sorry you had such a lousy night! But I am glad you are okay.
