Most people blame food for acid reflux, but the real trigger may begin the moment you lie down. At night, gravity no longer helps keep stomach acid in place, allowing it to rise and cause burning, discomfort, and interrupted sleep.
Simple changes like sleeping on your left side, avoiding late meals, and elevating your upper body may help reduce symptoms. However, frequent heartburn, trouble swallowing, or ongoing discomfort should be checked by a healthcare professional.
