Self Care Advice

How to treat indigestion:

There’s usually no need to see a GP about indigestion. There are some things you can do at home:

  • Cut down on tea, coffee, cola or alcohol
  • Prop your head and shoulders up in bed – this can stop stomach acid coming up while you sleep
  • Lose weight if you’re overweight

Don’t:

  1. Eat 3 to 4 hours before going to bed
  2. Have rich, spicy or fatty foods
  3. Take ibuprofen or aspirin – this can make indigestion worse
  4. Smoke
