tbf, almost every single chair out there is wildly un-ergonomic. Whoever came up with all that 90 degree "perfect posture" bullshit must be exhumed, revived and then executed again. Just get yourself a laptop and work from bed if you can, otherwise, get a recliner that can go back at least 45°, find your comfortable angle, then plan the rest of the setup around that.

Heart burn is a digestion tract issue, lying down only exacerbates the symptoms.

Even if that was the case, just lying like 10-20 degree off completely flat completely negates the issue.

Even partially reclining can cause or exacerbate acid reflux.

The best thing to do is to gently walk after meals.

Sitting weird is good so long as you keep altering your position. It's sitting still in the same position for a long time that is the worst. I can't sit still either way, thanks ADHD :)
Squats and deadlifts, other back exercises and running can compensate for hours of sitting (at least in terms of back issues). The technique has to be right though or it can make things worse.

If you usually wear belts and you have back pain maybe you could start from that. Better the annoyance of your pants not staying in place than the back pain.

Do tight belts cause back pain? I’ve never heard that. Also I’ve had some back issues over the years, and no doctor or therapist has ever told me that.

Mainly they tell me to exercise, and give you special exercises to do. Those help.

I was just talking from experience at first. But for example searching I find various articles similar to this one

Increased abdominal pressure can lead to stiffness in the spine and added stress on the back. Tight belts can exacerbate this pressure, resulting in nerve compression, particularly affecting the femoral cutaneous nerve. This compression can cause not only back pain but also abdominal pain and discomfort, affecting digestive health. Evidence suggests that consistently wearing a tight belt can significantly heighten the risk of chronic back pain by disrupting spinal stability and altering abdominal muscle function. Visible signs, such as red marks on the skin after removing a belt, may indicate its tightness and potential for harm. https://wisehealthtips.com/...

Or this

Lower back and spinal pain Research has linked increased pressure in the abdomen with stiffness in the spine and extra stress on your back. So that extra ergonomic help you had from the office chair isn’t doing much if your belt still sits extra tight on your waist. The back pain is a terrible result of nerve compression which takes place when pressure is applied. https://www.askdrmanny.com/...

I used to sit weirdly too but it was never a problem. I would guess the main problem for people with pain is lack of any exercise. It seems some people don't even walk anymore, they use those electric boards to move. No surprise their body becomes crap.

I started trying to run now actually. I hate cardio but it looks so good when people can run and it looks effortless. So I have set a 2 month plan for myself now to get on running machine every second day and do 20 minutes of mixed uphill walking and running.

Chat gpt says I will see results in 2 months, so im hoping for it. :) My goal is to be able to run 20 minutes with no walking.

I admittedly dont run very often or very well, but I just did a 5k that I only kind of prepped for, I managed to get to a consistent 7 min/km in about a week and a half of consistent attempts, granted I was walking part of that way, but when the 5k rolled around on Saturday, I did manage to do the first like 1.5 km with no walking. Obviously this isn't for everyone, but I found for me that I hate treadmills and I hate just running with no direction (even though I will wander aimlessly for hours when I'm walking) so having a set 1km lap that I could use as a baseline was really beneficial to running, and on the day of the 5k having a massive group was quite motivating to try and keep running rather than walk, regardless of how fast or slow.
