What is meant by starting here is the burning sensation (heartburn) that occurs from the upper abdomen to the concavity and feels behind the chest bone area.

Quoted by VOI from Sleep Education, recently, here are four sleeping positions for people with ulcers

One way to keep the ulcers from recurring during sleep is to choose the right sleeping position.

Patients with ulcers are not advised to sleep in a supine position, especially if you are obese or overweight.

The reason is, sleeping on your back can increase the pressure on the stomach cavity. The presence of a large pressure can encourage acid to rise to the concavity.

In addition, you are also not allowed to go to bed immediately after eating full. Because sleeping after eating can cause increased stomach pressure.

When you have a recurrence, you are advised to sleep with a tilted left position. According to studies, sleeping with a body tilted to the left can reduce pain.

In addition, the position of sleep tilted to the left can also prevent stomach acid from rising to the concavity. To avoid lower back pain, you can place pillows between the lower legs in order to align your back.

Avoid right tilted sleep, because this position can increase the potential for attacks to occur. Sleep facing to the right can lead to relaxation of the spincther muscle. That is the part that is the limit that separates the stomach and esophagus.

The right sleeping position when the ulcers recur next is to raise the head.

In addition to making a comfortable sleeping position, raising your head while sleeping can also help relieve pain.

Related to this, you can try to stack pillows until your head is in the most comfortable position. The recommended height is about 30 degrees.

This is considered capable of reducing the effect of graffiti on the body. As a result, the production of acid in the body is less at risk of rising to the concavity.

This means that the risk of experiencing ulcers and rising stomach acid is getting smaller.
