Heartburn

It's not far-fetched that stuffing yourself on Thanksgiving may cause heartburn and indigestion. But, for people with preexisting heartburn or gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), overindulgence can be especially dangerous.

Dr. Glatter recommends people with these conditions should avoid eating large portions, and should remain upright on a chair or couch for several hours after eating. Not doing so may worsen symptoms.

I had to read this 3 times before I caught the mistake. I suppose the word "cough" should have been couch. Who is going to cough for several hours?

I see a lot of typos and mispelled/misused words in CBS News almost every day. Don't they have anyone to read this stuff before they print it?
