Hello, Thanks for the query to H.C.M. Forum. I would come up with these possibilities for these symptoms , these includes. 1 The first possibility is of peptic ulcer disease ( hyper acidity ) . Diagnosis can be confirmed by Upper G I endoscopy . Try raising the head of you bed about 4 inches with blocks. It might also help to avoid eating or drinking for 2 hours before you lie down.To help control stomach acid one should not drink alcohol or drinks with caffeine in them or eat chocolate or spicy or greasy foods. Gavison only help to some extent. But in your case symptoms are sever so you may need drugs like proton pump inhibitors. 2 Indigestion may be the next reason , diagnosis can be confirmed by clinical history of illness by a physician, particularly after gallbladder removal. 3 Tension or anxiety develops such type of symptoms . In my opinion consult a physician and get his opinion. Good luck. Dr. HET
