Acid reflux/heartburn only during my period
I've noticed the past few months that I have near-constant acid reflux/heartburn during the first half of my period. As far as I can remember, this didn't start happening until I was put on birth control. I'm going to the doctor in a week or two, and we are going to discuss changing my brand for other, unrelated reasons, but I wanted to know if this was something anyone else had experienced and if it was worth mentioning to him. Thanks!

I think you should talk to your Dr about it. It may be normal, and it may not be. But everyone's different. I would check just in case and to ease your mind about it. :) Hope everything works out!

Re: Acid reflux/heartburn only during my period
It's not that uncommon, actually. It's most likely due to the Progesterone, same as why pregnant women have acid reflux.
A few things that can help: 1) Don't lie down soon after waiting. Try not to lay down until 2-3 hours after a meal. 2) Avoid spicy foods as much as possible. 3)Coffee, tea, carbonated drinks, alcoholic drinks ,etc can make it worse. So those are few ideas. Hope you can get switched to a bc that works better with you :) |
