Heartburn Prevention at Night
|
|
Heartburn gains the advantage when you lie down. That's what makes nighttime heartburn so common.
When you lie down, two things happen. Any weight around your middle can work to push stomach acid into your esophagus. What's more, gravity can start to work against you, pulling the acid down, even as your stomach pushes.
The following steps can help you prevent the causes of nighttime heartburn.
- Allow your food to digest before lying down.
- Avoid late night snacks.
- Elevate the head of your bed 6 to 8 inches with solid blocks to help prevent acid reflux.
