Slouching after a meal may trigger heartburn, which can lead to back pain.

Back pain is a common problem that affects most of us at some point in our lives. Commonly back pain stems from muscle strain, tension, or injury to the muscles, ligaments, and discs that support your spine. It’s normal to feel back pain as you age. The cartilage that cushions joints breaks down and wears away with age. At the same time, the disks between the vertebrae shrink. This causes bones to rub against each other, leading to pain and stiffness. However, people of any age can have back pain because of different reasons. Sometimes back pain could be a sign of other serious health conditions, like kidney infection, cancer, or heart attack. The pain may emerge or aggravate while sitting or taking a step, or even after eating. If you have often back pain after eating your meals, it could be because of one of these reasons.

Poor Posture

Hunching over your food during a meal can also lead to soreness in your back. Slouching after a meal may trigger heartburn caused by acid reflux and can lead to back pain.

Slouching, slumping, and other types of poor posture can strain your muscles and joints and lead to back and joint pain.

A gallbladder attack usually occurs after you eat a large meal or fatty foods. This is because your body makes more bile when you eat fatty foods. The attack can cause severe pain in the upper abdomen that may radiate to the back. Other typical symptoms of a gallbladder attack include tender abdomen, nausea and vomiting.
