Night Time Heartburn

Considered by many to be one of the worst types of heartburn
that you can get, nighttime heartburn is more or less debilitating
when you do suffer from an attack.  Unlike with most illnesses
where you can give your body the much needed rest it needs
during the regenerative nighttime hours, with nighttime heartburn
you tend to suffer more, leaving you feeling drained, and
unrefreshed, and I have to say that I found this out first hand.

To explain a little, I woke up from a sound sleep with the familiar
burning pain in my chest, feeling clammy, and with a difficulty of
breathing. I was convinced I was having a heart attack. This was
luckily not the case, and I was only having an attack of nighttime
heartburn. This was the first time I had suffered from this
particular version of heartburn and I was even more unprepared
for it, if that’s possible, than I was for my first attack.

For one thing, even though I suffered almost regularly from
heartburn at that point, I had thought myself well fortified against
whatever it could throw at me. How wrong I was. Until you
actually suffer from an attack of nighttime heartburn, you can
never know the pain, and terror that you go through.

In my case, I think that some of my symptoms, like shortness of
breath, were probably brought on by an incipient panic attack
along with the heartburn as well.  However that may be, I’ve
managed to control my heartburn now to a great extent through
natural remedies. But one of the things that I found helpful was
learning the cause as to why heartburn can occur at night.  

What I found was interesting, and bears some sharing so that
hopefully you’ll also be able to better come to grips with your
nighttime heartburn if you do suffer from it.

During our sleeping hours we usually stay in one position - flat -
for several hours, it’s normally only after this that we start to
toss and turn. It has been found that lying flat increases the risk
of your LES relaxing, and if during this time your LES relaxes a
bit too much it will allow the acid to flow into your esophagus. But
here’s the clincher, because you’re lying down, the acid will stay
in your esophagus for longer than if you were standing. As a
logical conclusion, since the acids have longer to act on your
esophagus, it also increases the chance that your nighttime
heartburn will be far worse than your normal heartburn.

Another factor is the amount of saliva you produce during the
daytime. This is significantly higher than what you produce at
night, and as saliva is one of your body’s best natural defenses
against heartburn, you unintentionally remove one of your best
defenses.

There are however, simple steps that you can take to reduce
both the risk as well as the severity of nighttime heartburn, and I
will go into these in  The Heartburn Cure Book. Download Your

Dear Natural Heartburn
Cure,

"I want to let you know how
fantastic your eBook is!  I
have been doing what you
recommended….I’m
certainly never buying
expensive treatment for
Heartburn again that’s for
sure!”

I suffered from re-
occurring Heartburn for
years and kept having to
use counter drugs all the
time to keep it in check.   
One day I stumbled across
your ebook and decided to
give it a shot thinking what
have I got to lose, same
price as my counter drugs
and there was a money
back guarantee which to be
honest I thought I might
end up using.

I wasn’t sure what to
expect maybe some weird
diet, or to have to buy some
cream or something that
cost more more…but there
was nothing hard AT ALL
about it (easy as pie) and
my heartburn  was gone.

It hasn’t come back….
couldn't believe it.  I would
have paid 10 times as much
to get rid of my heartburn
so fast and easily!"
