How To Cure Acid Reflux: Many times due to our eating habits and lifestyle problems, we have faced heartburn. This problem is known in English as heartburn or acid reflux. This is a common problem, but it is very important to solve it in time, otherwise, many problems can arise later due to this. But do you know that due to wrong sleeping habits, such problems can also be faced?
What is acid reflux?
Acid Reflux or Heartburn is a problem related to digestion in which the acid which is used to digest our food comes to our throat through the food pipe i.e. esophagus, which causes discomfort.
The main symptoms of acid reflux are
Stomach acid coming up to the throat,
A sour feeling in the throat,
Burning sensation in the chest or throat,
Difficulty in swallowing food.
Why there is a burning sensation in the throat?
To digest food in our stomach, acids are released, which are also known as digestive juices, when the food starts moving toward the stomach, then a valve called the esophageal sphincter opens and the food reaches the stomach. When the amount of acid becomes high, it starts going back through the food pipe towards the throat, due to which there is a problem of heartburn.
Sleeping in this way causes problems.
Throat irritation is related to your sleeping posture, if you sleep more on your stomach or back, it increases the chances of acid reflux. That's why most health experts believe that you should sleep on your side only so that such problems can be avoided.
