Night-time heartburn isn’t just uncomfortable—it could signal that your diaphragm or lower oesophageal sphincter (LOS) isn’t keeping stomach acid where it belongs. A hiatus hernia or weakened LOS lets acid creep back into your oesophagus, disrupting sleep and damaging your digestive tract.

Who’s most at risk? People who are overweight, stressed, eat fatty foods, smoke, drink alcohol or coffee, take certain medications, have chronic cough, or live with conditions like diabetes or connective tissue disorders. Pregnant women are also more prone due to hormonal changes and extra pressure on the stomach.

If night-time reflux is keeping you up, small lifestyle changes—and guidance from a gastroenterologist—can make a big difference.

Don’t let acid steal your sleep.

Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is the most common form of liver cancer in Australia and a leading cause of cancer-related deaths.

Key risk factors: Fatty liver disease, type 2 diabetes, viral hepatitis, obesity, smoking, alcohol, and family history.

Symptoms often appear late: Fatigue, abdominal pain, jaundice, nausea, and loss of appetite.

Early detection in patients suffering from established chronic liver disease is critical.

Managing liver health requires a multidisciplinary approach, including:

● Surgery or liver transplantation
● Diet and lifestyle changes: Reduce alcohol, cut salt and red meat, manage weight and blood pressure

Your liver matters — early care can make all the difference.
