Heartburn so bad I can't breathe?

Question

Is that normal? I woke up about an hour ago feeling like I just ran 2 miles-gasping for air and my heart was racing. My husband woke up and helped calm me down, I drank some cold water and took a Zantac (doc said its fine) but now when I lay down I feel the heartburn and then the rapid heart beat again.

I've had heartburn and basically every digestive issue under the sun before pregnancy but never knew it to leave me out of breath before.

I took the glucose test this morning, I wonder if that has anything to do with it?

Answer

I've been getting terrible heartburn and I'm too afraid to take any medication for it. A friend at work told me to have a small glass of milk before bed. It helped a little. 
Yesterday during the day I had heartburn again. I had a vanilla milkshake from McDonalds and it instantly disappeared. 
You could try a milkshake.

I'm having heartburn every night, it is just horrible. I eat saltiness to help me absorb the extra acid in my stomach, and I staying in a sitting position for a while. It is the only way I can breath, it gets really bad. I pretty sure my son will be more like a monkey 🙈🐒.

Answer

Sadly yes it is normal and the glucose test does make it worse.
