Wearing tight clothing can exacerbate GERD symptoms by increasing abdominal pressure. When clothing is snug around the waist, it can compress the stomach, pushing its contents upwards towards the esophagus. This pressure can weaken the lower esophageal sphincter (LES), the muscle that helps keep stomach acid from refluxing into the esophagus.

Tight clothes, particularly those that fit snugly around the abdomen, can contribute to increased discomfort and acid reflux episodes. By putting extra pressure on the stomach, these garments can trigger or worsen GERD symptoms, including heartburn and regurgitation.

To manage GERD effectively, it is advisable to opt for loose-fitting, comfortable clothing that does not constrict the abdominal area. This simple change can help reduce the pressure on the stomach, lessen reflux symptoms, and contribute to overall digestive comfort.
