Guide to Understanding Heartburn and GERD

 7.Raise the Head of Your Bed
If you have nighttime heartburn, try placing blocks under the legs of your bed to raise the head about 6 inches, or sleep with your upper body on a wedge pillow. This strategy uses gravity to keep stomach acids where they belong. (Avoid raising your head with piles of pillows. This bends your body in a way that can aggravate heartburn.) For some, reflux also happens less frequently when lying on your left side rather than your right.

8.Wear Loose-Fitting Clothes
Another way to ease heartburn is to take pressure off the abdomen. Lose excess weight and wear loose-fitting clothes and belts.
