Hello doctor, I feel pain in the epigastrium part of my stomach mostly when I sleep or lay down. It happens only when I lay down at night or daytime.I have heartburn, constipation, gas, bloating in my stomach and I think it may be acid reflux. The interesting part is that all of this happens while lying down. I go to pee very frequently, and this frequent urination becomes worse at sleep time. If I stand up, all of this disappear.
Hi. Based on your description it looks like GERD (Gastroesophageal reflux disease). Yes, sometimes it becomes chronic, and it is a very unpleasant feeling. In chronic cases, esophageal sphincter may be incompetent too, which leads to acid reflux. Conservative therapy with antacids and diet is the first way of treatment. I suggest you use Pantoprazole at morning and Maalox syrup after meals. Consult a specialist doctor, discuss with him or her and take medicines with consent.
