Is it better for patients with GERD to sleep on their left side?

Given the stomach's anatomy, lying on your left side is beneficial for reducing reflux.

위장의 해부학적 구조 때문에 눕는 방향에 따라 역류 정도가 달라집니다.

  • 왼쪽: 위장의 볼록한 부분이 아래로 가게 되어 음식물이 고이고 식도 쪽으로 잘 흐르지 않음
  • 오른쪽: 위장 입구(분문부)가 아래쪽으로 향하게 되어 음식물이 식도로 쏟아지기 쉬움
🛌 수면 자세

증상이 심하다면 왼쪽으로 모로 누워 주무시는 것을 시도해 보세요.
