Why You Should Not Lie Down Immediately After Meals

Lying down right after eating can slow digestion, increase acid reflux, and cause chest discomfort that may feel like heart pain. It can also lead to sudden rises in blood sugar and place extra strain on the heart, especially in people with high BP, diabetes, or existing heart conditions.

Waiting 20 to 30 minutes after meals and taking a short walk helps improve digestion, regulate blood sugar, and reduce stress on the heart. This simple habit supports long term heart health and prevents avoidable discomfort.

For preventive heart screening, lifestyle guidance, and accurate diagnosis, consult Dr. Ajit Mehta, cardiologist in Pune, specialising in preventive cardiac care and personalised heart health management.
