Experts Explain Causes and Prevention of Night-Time Acid Reflux Symptoms
Night-time acid reflux, causing sour or bitter taste upon waking, is often linked to eating habits such as late or heavy dinners and lying down soon after meals. This reflux occurs when stomach contents flow back into the oesophagus, especially during sleep when gravity and swallowing decrease. Symptoms include throat irritation and chest discomfort. Experts advise moderating food and drink intake, avoiding late heavy meals, and maintaining a healthy weight. Recurring symptoms may indicate gastro-oesophageal reflux disease (GERD) and warrant medical attention.
