Q: How high should the head of bed be raised in gerd ?
I've never seen specific angle suggestions but there is a list of preventive measures that discusses putting 4-6" blocks under the feet of the head of the bed and using a wedge. Make sure to read both pages as there are some good ideas on the second page as well.
Best of Luck!
Stephanie
