When you're busy at work, acid reflux is a nightmare. I kept a bottle of cold milk at my desk and took two sips whenever my chest burned. Also, keeping my laptop desk elevated so I didn't slouch helped a lot.
If home remedies aren't working, please ask your doctor for an antacid gel. The medical staff at my hospital prescribed a pregnancy-safe syrup that worked instantly. Don't suffer in silence when there are safe medical solutions.
My tracker app recommended eating small, frequent meals instead of three heavy ones, and it really worked for my reflux! Also, avoid lying down immediately after eating—wait at least 40 minutes.
My saas told me to drink cold milk with a spoon of gulkand at night, and honestly, it gave me instant relief from that burning feeling. Avoid spicy foods entirely during dinner.
Acid reflux is so uncomfortable! For me, eating dinner at least 2-3 hours before sleeping was the only thing that helped. It also made sleeping a bit more comfortable in those heavy final weeks before my C-section.
Don't worry, this is very common because of the pregnancy hormones. Try chewing on some fennel seeds (saunf) after meals, and sleep with your head slightly elevated using an extra pillow. It will get better, trust me.
I had to be so careful with everything I took during my pregnancy. For reflux, I found that sipping warm water with a little ginger and avoiding oily foods worked safely. Take care of yourself, you are doing so well.
