Smoking significantly contributes to GERD by weakening the lower esophageal sphincter. I smoked a minimum of a pack a day for 14years. Going by the puking in mouth while standing still, bending over(most frequent) or laying in bed(which is the most infrequent) its either a weakened LES or my neuro suggested it might GERD caused by a hiatal hernia where the stomache bulges through the diaphram.interesting it must be something with your bed @Shakey
you feel smoking can cause gerd in you?
I regurg on both empty and full stomache, even small burps can end with a little bit of food back in my mouth. Deffinitely not the bed. Lol. Heart burn/acid reflux worsens exponentially with caffeine now and increased frequency of all symptoms.
Caffeine relaxs the LES worsening symptoms, smoking weakens the LES over years. Also when smoking i was dry heaving everyday for the last like 2 years. Hiatal Hernia GERD usually causes regurg when bending so its most likely both where i developed a hiatal hernia 3 years or so ago and its compounded by chain smoking for a decade weakening my LES.
Though this is speculation based on symptoms and my neuros suggestion. I have yet to get an endo to check.
