The gravity will play its rule to keep the acid into the stomach and prevent its passage to the lower esophagus producing this pain.

*Avoid wearing tight clothes. This type of fitting tight clothes around your waist and stomach will increase the incidence of heartburn by the previous mentioned mechanism.
* Avoid bending at your waist as it increases the pressure inside the stomach. Instead try to bend on your knees.
