Lifestyle is always an important consideration. Quitting smoking, watching what you eat, having smaller meals more often (avoid eating 3-4 hours before bed) and taking steps to reduce stress can all help.2 If heartburn is a problem at night, try and raise the head of your bed a little by placing a wooden block under it (don’t use extra pillows as they can put extra pressure on your stomach).2 In the interim, Gaviscon is designed to help. Gaviscon creates a protective layer on top of your stomach acid that protects you from the potential harms of heartburn – and it even works when you are lying down or sleeping.9
