Problem with acid reflux in the morning. what do you recommend?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Elevate head of bed: Lying down at night removes the power of gravity to keep things down in your stomach. If the muscle at the top of your stomach is weak, lying down allows free flow of acid up into the esophagus & even your throat. Avoid tight, constricting clothing, put the head of your bed up on sturdy 6' blocks, so you lie at an angle with feet down -- and use gravity to keep acid in stomach. See your dr.!
