If you frequently experience acid reflux, you’ve probably learned the hard way that symptoms can be worse when you’re trying to sleep.
Here are some tips for nighttime heartburn relief.
Try to have your dinner at least 2-3 hours before going to bed.
Eating late can cause the stomach to produce more acid, which can lead to acidity.
Use extra pillows to elevate your head and upper body while sleeping. This can help keep the stomach acid in your stomach.
Avoid eating spicy and acidic foods before bedtime, especially if you are prone to acidity.
Caffeine and alcohol can irritate the stomach lining and increase acid production, leading to acidity.
Tight clothing around the waist and stomach can put pressure on the stomach, which can lead to acidity.
Practicing relaxation techniques, such as deep breathing or meditation, before bedtime can help reduce stress and prevent acidity.
Over-the-counter antacids or acid-reducing medications may provide relief for occasional acidity at night.
