What Causes Sleeplessness Along With Abdominal Discomfort?
Question: Hi, I can't sleep. I didn't eat right before bed. I ate a big portion at around 19:00 o'clock and went to sleep at 01:00. Yet I cannot sleep because it feels like my stomach has become solid. When I lay on my stomach it hurts even more. The feeling is really uncomfortable. I cannot sleep and it is already 06:00am. Please help.
Brief Answer:
Try a prokinetic
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Welcome and thanks for your query.
The abdominal discomfort was due to distension of the stomach from the large portion you ate and was made worse by the water you drank as remedy. It would be better when the stomach empties. You can accelerate the process by eating a prokinetic agent like Metoclopramide which will also help you to get some sleep as it has a mild sedative effect.
