Stress and Heartburn
Thursday April 12, 2007
Approximately 58 percent of individual who suffer frequent heartburn say a hectic lifestyle is a factor in their heartburn flare-ups. 52 percent of heartburn sufferers say work-related stress increases their heartburn. While stress hasn't been linked directly to heartburn, it is known that it can lead to behaviors that can trigger heartburn. During stressful times, routines are disrupted and people may not follow their normal routines in regards to meals, exercise, and medication. It is important to find ways to alleviate the stress, and thus make stress-related heartburn less likely.

I’d like to emphasize exercises section here. It works wonders - but it is probably the hardest one to start and keep doing out of everything mentioned. Try to find some physical activity which you like: dancing, hiking or cycling.
