What is recommended sleeping positon for acid reflux patients? is it on left or right side of the body?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Whatever you like. The main issue with reflux is NEVER TO LAY DOWN AFTER MEALS AND AVOID CAFFEINE/NICOTINE AFTER MID DAY. With an empty stomach you can sleep as you wish. In theory the right side might be better for some, in practice it makes little difference.
