Gerd and Sleep Apnea

Need some advice. I have gerd and sleep apnea and was wondering, what is the best position for sleeping. Left side, right side, stomach, or back.

Well u need to be on an incline and the best person to ask is Dr Park...he is on MedHelp and does many journals and free teleconferences on sleep apnea and sleep in general.

Do u have the head of ur bed elevated?...have u stopped eating at least 3 to 4 hrs prior to lying down?

I have a captains bed so I cannot raise the head of my bed frame. I do stop eating eating at least 3 to 4 hrs prior to lying down.


Thank you for the advice.

Not sure what a captains bed is, but mayb u can use one of those wedge pillows to help get u in a more inclined position?

A captains bed has drawers built in on the bottom of the bed frame, just under the matress.
