With acid reflux is it better to lay down on your left or right side to help prevent acid reflux?
With acid reflux, it's best not to lie down at all right after eating. When you do lie down, I find it best to be propped up, no matter which side. Acid reflux is caused when a muscle between the stomach and esophagus lets acid leak out of the stomach. During the day, gravity usually keeps the acid where it belongs, but when laying down, that may not be the case. Propping up lets gravity still work.
What are some of the causes of acid reflux?
Some of the symptoms of acid reflux are a heart burn, if left untreated could leave to Barett's esophagus, which is a precursor of cancer.

What can cause hard pressure on the chest but not winded?
Pressure on the chest can indicate cardiac/heart problems. Chest 'pain' is not necessarily felt as 'pain' but can be described as tightness or pressure on the chest and can radiate to the neck, jaw, arm ( especially left arm) or back. It can also be accompanied with sweating and nausea. This can be caused by lack of oxygen to the heart and lead to a heart attack. Chest pressure caused be lack of oxygen can be noticed with activity and then relieved with rest. This is something that can be very serious and needs to be evaluated by a physician right away.
When you have acid reflux will it cause pain on left side of chest and pain and weakness in left arm and leg?
Actually, that's incorrect - Reflux can cause symptoms that are similar to a coronary condition. Since I've had it for many years, I've had those kinds of symptoms on occasion.All of the symptoms don't necessarily have to be tied to reflux either - generally it's confined to the upper torso but not the legs. It's possible you could have another problem that's being aggravated by reflux when it acts up, such as a disk problem or stenosis. Since I've got many spinal problems as well, at times I've experienced reflux affecting my lower spine as well.TSD -RAVEN-Category Supervisor----Left-side arm and leg pain and weakness is not a symptom of acid reflux, but this set of symptoms could be related to a serious coronary condition. A doctor would likely advise someone with such a combination of symptoms to immediately seek medical help.
The Challange Of Acid Reflux?
Acid reflux is a troubling, chronic condition that affects millions of people in our society today. Acid reflux exhibits itself as a burning sensation and results when stomach acid enters the esophagus. These symptoms occur when the lower esophageal sphincter is abnormally relaxed. This sphincter normally maintains a tight seal around the top of the stomach. In addition to heartburn, acid reflux can also result in spontaneous regurgitation and difficulty in swallowing. Less commonly, acid reflux can result in chest pain, nausea, abnormally heavy salivation and painful swallowing. Long term acid reflux sufferers are at risk of contracting esophagitis, a more serious condition that features inflammation of the esophagus. Serious cases of esophagitis can force sufferers to resort to feeding tubes as their sole form of sustenance. Treating acid reflux can be quite difficult, due to the sheer number of underlying conditions that can cause the symptoms. Obesity is a major contributing factor towards acid reflux. A study of acid reflux sufferers showed that as much as 13% of negative changes in stomach acid levels could be attributed to weight gain and changes in body shape. Acid reflux may also be symptom of sleep apnea or gallstones. Although curing or even treating acid reflux can be virtually impossible, patients can take measures to limit the severity of symptoms. These measures include sleeping with the upper body raised or sleeping exclusively on the left side. Acid reflux sufferers should limit the size of their meals and avoid eating before sleep. Losing even a few pounds can produce appreciable symptom reductions. The most popular method for limiting acid reflux is for sufferers to refrain from foods that are perceived as rich or acidic. These foods commonly include acidic fruit juice, coffee, fatty foods, onions and peppermints. This strategy is highly intuitive, which has resulted in enduring popularity. Nevertheless, there is still a lack of convincing evidence that dietary changes directly reduce acid reflux. Changing diet can indirectly reduce acid reflux by producing weight loss. The troubling acid reflux epidemic only highlights how obesity continues to create challenges in our society.
