Acid Reflex

In the past week I have been awaken at night and not able to go back to sleep. Last night it happend for the 3rd time. I have had enough, I am not a fan of waking up at night in pain. About an hour after I go to sleep I wake up with pain at the bottom of my sternum with lower stomach pain, feeling nauseated and going from hot to cold. NOT a fun experiance. The first night after about an hour I called my fiance, Jt being at the end of my rope that night. Not really knowing what I was calling him for at 2 A.M. He came over that night trying anything that might make me feel better. Making me drink water, putting a cool rag on my forhead (one would think I was about to die or something). He ended up laying on my floor until I feel alseep and sleeping noramally.
The 2nd time it happend the pain was not as bad as the first time but enough that I could not sleep. This time it was about 1 A.M. that Jt came over. Not knowing what more to do he made me take sleeping pills so that I can at least get some sleep that night. Jt took me for a short car ride (I felt a bit like a child being driven to sleep). Although it really did not do much good I got home and feel asleep on the living room floor.
Last night, the 3rd night it started again. This time it was about 12:30 A.M. Again Jt came over trying to help, even though niether one of use know what was going on. At about 2 A.M. I finally had Jt call my sister Aubree (why I never thought about calling her before I don't know) she is the nurse in the family. After talking with her and a few others today it has been decided that I have Acid Reflex. Who knew, I have never had so much as heartburn so I wouldn't have known what any of it felt like.
I sure hope its only Acid Reflex, I really don't want to go to the hospital if it is something else. This I can handle, I think, I hope. I really don't want another late night of no sleep. I really don't need to be waking Jt up and having him come over everytime. I love him for trying to take care of me and just being here for me. We both need our sleep though so I hope that there is no more major problems.
