bed wedge for acid reflux?

Thanks Charles Sue and Tony for your replies.  I think I'm going to stick with three pillows which seems to be working okay at the moment.  It's a question of getting enough elevation for me but which still allows us to snuggle up together.

all best wishes

Hey, to my mind. you used the wrong pillow. Here is the perfect review of how to choose and to find decent ones!

Hi Ian,

my dad experienced reflux, it actually caused his cancer.

An easy way to try combatting this acid is by placing some solid items under your bed's feet. If you slip down you will still have that angle where your head is raised. I would go to between 20 & 30 degrees, try 20 1st though, less stress on the bed.

Have you asked about an anti acid med called Omeprazole, if you haven't then ask your GP or the chemo team. It's prescription only. So get it on repeat, then you'll have a constant supply.

I wish you the best during your chemo.

Regards,

Graeme.
