and esophagus help explain why sleeping posture matters.

When a person lies on the right side, the stomach’s position relative to the esophagus can make reflux more likely or allow acid to remain in the esophagus longer. In contrast, lying on the left side often places the stomach in a position that makes it less likely for stomach contents to flow upward.
