❗️People who experience heartburn may find relief from nighttime symptoms by sleeping on their left side.
🛌 When you are on your left side, the stomach is positioned below the entrance to the stomach from the esophagus (called the cardiac sphincter).
👍🏼 Because symptoms of heartburn are caused when the stomach contents back up into the esophagus, keeping the cardiac sphincter above the stomach may help prevent discomfort from heartburn.
