Question 1

lower back/pelvis pain when lying down flat on my back in yoga?

Accepted Answer

Curvature: Could be curvature of the lower spine or your pelvic tilt angle.
If it persists, see your family md for xrays and evaluation.
Stretching and strengthening exercises can always help.

Question 2

lump below rib cage in centre, feels hard, does not hurt. feel when lying down on back. when i do a sit-up i dont feel it. ?

Accepted Answer

Could be a lipoma?: If it’s smooth and feels slippery it could be a common, non cancerous growth made of fat tissue. Your GP can feel this and confirm this and may have a picture taken (for example with an ultrasound) if there’s a question about what it is after feeling it. Sometimes if it’s very bothersome, it can be removed easily and rapidly.

Question 3

chest pain going into back both sides. worse lying down on back. hard to breathe. sx better on stomach but still bad. r side worse than left. ideas?

Accepted Answer

Please get some help: Chest pain is nothing to ignore! the potential origin of your symptoms includes: heart, lungs, mediastinum, esophagus, musculoskeletal, pericardium (sac around the heart), pleuritis, bronchiitis, or referred pain from a remote site.  Your doctor will be concerned about accompanying fever, blood with coughing, vomiting, shortness or breath, difficulty reclining, tenderness. Get checked now please.

Question 4

upper (between shoulder blades)  back pain in spine, worse when lying down on back or sides. painful to sit up straight and push chest out

Accepted Answer

Hard to know: These are worrisome symptoms and i would recommed you see your pcp or an orthopedist or neurosurgeon.

Question 5

feel like i'm on a float on water when lying down on back (worst) or sides, sometimes sitting. wavy, bobbing motion. not dizzy. ears tested ok. ?

Accepted Answer

Neurologist: I feel that an inner ear disorder is still the likely cause of this symptom. A neurologist or a neurootolayngologist can examine you and advise you about this symptom.

Question 6

i have pain in upper back when lying down in bed, what's wrong?

Accepted Answer

Pinched Nerve: Sounds like you have a pinched nerve in your back.  I would suggest seeing a pain/spine specialist to evaluate you further to evaluate what level and what can be done to treat you.  There are interventional treatments besides medications and surgeries that might reduce or  eliminate the pain altogether.

Question 7

what would cause the feeling of vibrations in the head and/or back particularly when lying down?

Accepted Answer

Vibrations: The sensation of vibrations can stem from minor tremors of muscles in your neck or back. Another possibility is mild irritability of superficial nerves in those areas. Apparently you're not aware of these sensations when you're up and about or active. I doubt there is a serious problem but if you're still concerned, consult your physician or a neurologist.

Question 8

i experience anxiety more than usual when i'm lying down on my back generally. not upright. why could this be dr?

Accepted Answer

The Unquiet Mind: There is nothing physical about lying on your back that would increase anxiety. So I find myself wondering if, when you lie down, you have fewer distractions, which makes you focus more on the issues that make you anxious. If so, you can sit up and distract yourself again, or, better yet, pay attention to  what scares you and talk to a therapist about it.  It's probably important.

Question 9

im ok lying down,suddenly as soon as i stand up its agony in lower back,i cant hold my weight.s cord stimulater i have is working fine.any suggestions?

Accepted Answer

More info needed: Any recent back injury or strain? Does the pain radiate into the buttock or leg? If it's a flareup of old disc protrusion it may subside after a few weeks; a recent back strain will improve sooner. Try cold and hot applications,rest, and if you can take them,NSAIDs like ibuprofen should help. Your orthopedic or neurosurgeon are best qualified to evaluate and treat you.

Question 10

can to much lying down cause back pain?

Accepted Answer

Yes: Too much lying down can cause back pain especially if you are in one uncomfortable position or the bed is uncomfortable.
