Acid reflux itself does not increase the risk of heart disease.
Shared symptoms between GERD and heart issues often lead to misdiagnosis due to similar chest pain presentation
Lifestyle Changes:
Eat smaller, frequent meals
Avoid lying down for 3 hours after eating
Maintain healthy weight
Choose non-spicy, low-fat foods
If you experience chest pain, proper medical evaluation is essential to differentiate between GERD and cardiac issues.
