Can exercising help acid reflux if you are overweight & you eat and lay down i have chest pain for a month now.. don't have heart problems had checked?

GERD and obesity.: although some patients have reflux after having exercise, in the long run, exercise will make your reflux better if you are able to use it to help get your weight under control. Obesity certainly matters in GERD. If you're having frequent symptoms, you may need to be on medication and anti-reflux measures, to help control it until you can get your weight down. See your doctor for advice. Good luck
