Yes. you would possibly feel better if you follow advise of your GERD doctor:
- Lose weight (if you’re overweight)
- Raise the head of your bed by six to eight inches – you’ll be able to do that by putting blocks of wood or rubber below two legs of the bed or a foam wedge beneath the mattress.
- Avoid foods that make your symptoms worse – for a few people these include coffee, chocolate, alcohol, peppermint, and fatty foods.
- Stop smoking, if you smoke
- Avoid late meals – Lying down with a full abdomen will make reflux worse. try and set up meals for a minimum of two to three hours before bedtime.
- Avoid tight clothing – Some people feel better if they wear comfy clothing that doesn’t squeeze the abdomen area.
