Irsan stated that for those with stomach problems, after Sahur they should try to move around before sleeping. Or they can deal with it by sleeping in the right position, using two pillows when sleeping.
"Ideally, after Sahur, they shouldn't lie down immediately; sit down first, move around maybe for 2 hours like the new theory of sleeping. But the problem is some need to leave for work, if they wait, they'll be late. Number one for those with GERD use higher pillows," he said.

These two pillows are used with the aim of making the position of the stomach and esophagus vertical.
Then, stomach acid doesn't immediately rise into the esophagus when sleeping or it can also be managed by sleeping on the right side if it's uncomfortable using two pillows when sleeping.
"The higher pillow will make the position more vertical so the esophagus and stomach are straight, so stomach acid doesn't rise up. If it's uncomfortable using two pillows, you can sleep on the right side, so it goes down, if on the left, it will resist. So, the food quickly goes down when lying down," he explained.
According to Dr. Hasan is for those with stomach problems. During Ramadan, continue to consume stomach acid suppressants, at least half an hour before Sahur or break the fast.
"More importantly, medication. People with GERD are advised to take stomach acid suppressants before Sahur. They should take medication half an hour before eating, so when acid increases during eating, the medicine is absorbed," he concluded.
