Summary
Nightjar 18625, who has blood pooling from vasodilation rather than hypovolemia, began sleeping on a full-length bed wedge a couple of weeks before posting. They felt it might be making them worse: it eased their acid reflux but they woke with more headaches, and they suspected it worsened their cerebral blood flow. They asked whether flipping the wedge or using a leg wedge instead might help.
