Raised Bed and GERD
By Lateef Oladeji
Gastro Esophageal Reflux Disease (GERD) is the health condition caused in most cases by stomach acid flowing back into the esophagus, causing heartburn and other discomforts. GERD has been found to abate, so to say, with some lifestyle and diet changes. One of such lifestyle changes involves raising the head of the bed by 6 to 8 inches so as to reduce or prevent acid flowback to the esophagus. I had raised the head of my bed by about 6 inches for over 6 years until recently when I concluded that the back ache I was experiencing resulted from my raised-bed sleeping position. I arrived at this conclusion because my wife, who had her own bed raised like mine, out of fun though, also complained of back ache. Moreover, after removing the 6-inch wooden boxes with which I had raised the bed, the back pain has almost completely gone. If this observation is shared by many more people, then I think it is a big price to pay for taming GERD. Whether it is worth the price depends on such factors as the degree of back pain suffered by individuals on raising their bed heads, the intensity of GERD sufferings in the first instance, the level of relief from GERD got from raising the bed head, the availability of a means of moderating the back pain, the assurance that the back pain cannot lead to a worse problem than GERD it is out to relieve. |
