I have a lady friend who called me last night at 2:00 am scared to death. This is the second time in two months she has had major acid backwash in her sleep that went into or tried to go into her lungs. She woke up coughing and could not breathe for a couple of minutes – now her throat and vocal cords are messed up.
Could this be TMS – she has painful feet as well

Even if it is TMS, this woman needs to be under medical supervision because it sounds extreme. And I've always read that GERD was closely tied to anxiety (TMS) and diet.
My wife had GERD. Even took meds for it for a few years. It got better but her back and neck pain got worse. This was before I knew anything about TMS. Of course, in hindsight now this makes sense to me. Anyway, definitely cannot assess someone's individual condition definitely over a forum, but I know for sure that it is possible for it to be TMS.
