Health Tips
1. Dietary Changes:
- Avoid trigger foods like spicy, acidic, or fatty foods, as they can worsen symptoms.
- Eat smaller, more frequent meals rather than large ones to reduce pressure on the stomach.
- Finish meals at least 2-3 hours before lying down or going to bed.
2. Lifestyle Adjustments:
- Elevate the head of your bed by 6-8 inches to prevent stomach acid from flowing back into the esophagus while sleeping.
- Maintain a healthy weight, as excess weight can contribute to GERD symptoms.
- Avoid tight-fitting clothing that can put pressure on the abdomen.
3. Meal Timing:
- Avoid eating close to bedtime.
- Wait a couple of hours after eating before engaging in strenuous activities or exercising.
4. Avoid Smoking and Alcohol:
- Both smoking and alcohol can weaken the lower esophageal sphincter and increase the risk of acid reflux.
5. Medications:
- Follow your healthcare provider's recommendations for any prescribed medications, such as proton pump inhibitors (PPIs) or H2 blockers.
6. Stress Management:
- Stress can exacerbate GERD symptoms. Engage in relaxation techniques like deep breathing, meditation, or yoga.
7. Hydration:
- Drink plenty of water throughout the day. Staying hydrated can help maintain a healthy digestive system.
8. Chewing Gum:
- Chewing sugar-free gum after meals can help increase saliva production, which can neutralize stomach acid.
9. Avoid Bending Over:
- Bending over or stooping immediately after meals can increase the risk of acid reflux. Instead, try to maintain an upright posture.
10. Consult Your Doctor:
- If you experience severe or persistent symptoms despite making lifestyle changes, consult your healthcare provider. They can provide personalized advice and recommend further tests or treatment options.
Test: 24hours pH monitoring, GI endoscopy
