Bird, What size shoe do you wear? Just kidding, probably smaller than my size 13 but gee man, the similarities just go on and on and on. You got any relatives from Mississippi?
I have made two emergency rushes to the ER for "heart attacks" but now that I know how to disambiguate between a heart attack (never had one) and painful indigestion or the like, I can "FIX" the problem quickly with Mylanta, or tums or...
I have had it twice in a day or two days in a row but more likely go for months between incidents or clusters of incidents. I have heard all the suggestions about tilting the bed and taking Mylanta (or similar) as a preventative and such. Between events or clusters of events I typically do nothing. Sometimes I give myself heartburn from bouncing around in the tractor. I typically have a fanny pack and if not wearing it, take it with me like a purse. Among other "just in case" items like my .45 ACP "baby Glock", I carry a roll of Tums.
My family doctor is a fellow sufferer. He says if he gets up in the middle of the night to pee, (with no symptoms) he takes a small swig of Mylanta. If he has symptoms he takes a big swig.
