What Causes Discomfort In Stomach After Sleeping?
Detailed below.
Detailed Answer:
Hello!
Thank you for the query.
If this sensations are present especially after having a meal right before sleeping, acid reflux disease or peptic ulcer are most probable reason of your symptoms. You may have nausea with this issue.
If the pain radiates to the LEFT arm or jaw, shortness of breath and sweating are present, heart problem can be the reason.
As the pain radiates to the back, gallstones should be ruled out as well.
I suggest you to consult your doctor. Abdominal ultrasound, blood work, liver tests, heart ECG should be done. If nothing will be found, you should modify your diet. Avoid fatty foods, spicy foods, alcohol, coffee, chocolate, orange juices. Do not eat 2 hours before sleeping. Put additional pillow under your head when sleeping. Get prescription for PPI (stomach acid blocking medicines) from your doctor.
If this wont help, you should have gastroscopy as a next step.
Hope this will help. Feel free to ask further questions.
Regards.
