Help with heartburn: People who experience heartburn might benefit from sleeping on their left side, as right-side sleeping relaxes connecting muscles between the stomach and the esophagus, or food pipe.Gravity helps the waste travel from the small intestine to the large intestine. The stomach’s natural position is on the left side, where it can digest food more effectively. However, the location of the stomach is a clue. Gut health: There is no medical evidence to support that sleeping on one side is better than the other.However, whether a person chooses to sleep on their front, side, or back, it is important that they use supportive pillows and a firm mattress. this forum has been a great help to me, especially in the early days.Many people believe that sleeping on the left side is the best option for digestion. I only went back to pilates + treadmill after 2- 3 months and have had no problem with treadmill, at the same pace and time that I had always done in the past.īy now your implant should be done, all the best for your recovery. It has taken me a long time to adjust to the total 'thing' that has happened to me and I often long for the carefree person I'd been 'before' and I have been very depressed about it all, but everything is getting better for me. Since PM, I have not once even felt dizzy nor had I had a fainting spell. I have to believe that PM has saved me from perhaps having brain damage when blacking out completely. Of course I am not ecstatic about it, but what can you do. I am also skinny and in my case the PM will always protrude, I can even see the wires underneath my skin. before I go to sleep I place a thickish pillow lenghtwise next to my left shoulder, then I turn on to the pillow to sleep on my left side, but not for a very long time. I am 6 months post PM and have had great difficulty sleeping since, never mind on my left side! I have, however, started sleeping somewhat on my left side lately. It's worked fine for over two years so I don't get concerned if it sticks out more or less. When I care too look, mine sticks out more when I'm dehydrated and less when I'm hydrated.

I was pretty beat up so my numbers are way off Most of my pain as far as the implant was concerned was gone by five months. How long does it take to heal? Depends upon you, your body type, how sore you are from the implant, and all sorts of stuff. So, yeah, I can't sleep on my left side because the pacemaker is there. Not a complete left side sleeping but I've adjusted to it. What I do is to pull the sleeping pillow over my left shoulder (pacemaker is on left side) and lay on that corner of the pillow. I'm one of the ones who can't sleep on my left side because the pacemaker gets pinched between my shoulder and rib cage. Most people with pacemakers, ICD's, and the like report they can sleep on their left side after the implant wound has healed and the swelling has gone down.
