Question 1

what does it mean when i lay down and feel my stomach knot up for a minute and then go away?

Accepted Answer

Stomach knots: To answer this question it is important to distinguish whether the "knot" is in the stomach muscles (do a leg lift lying down to see if it makes it worse) or inside the abdomen, in which case it is mostly likely a cramp in the colon, which may be caused by gas, food, or constipation.

Question 2

Accepted Answer

Normal: It can be aneurism of abdominal aorta also, if older age, advanced shyphilis, Family hx.

Question 3

what does it mean if whenever i lay down my stomach gets tight and it hurts to lay on my back or side or lay down at all actually and im nauseous?

Accepted Answer

See doctor: If you don't have nausea, I'd suspect that you had a muscle sprain somewhere causing you to have pain when lying down.  If you are sexually active, one always suspect pregnancy associated with the nausea.  I think your best bet is to consult your doctor to get examined.

Question 4

im experiencing acid reflux whenever i lay down, ive recently had a stomach bug or food poisoning. is this normal and will it go away?

Accepted Answer

Reflux: Don't lie down unless you've eaten no food for 2 hours. Avoid oily and greasy foods as they slow stomach emptying. Also avoid caffeine,alcohol and nicotine.Reflux after a viral gastroenteritis is not common,so you may have to adhere to these measures permanently. However your symptoms may not become chronic. Time will tell.

Movement: Stomach noises are due to GI motility and movement of bowel contents and gas though the gut.

Question 6

why does my stomach make so much noise when i lay down [mainly when i'm on my back]?

Accepted Answer

Borborygmi: Borborygmi. (that term comes from the greek, meaning rumbling around) it may sound like you have some type of disease, but is just the sounds your intestines make. From time to time the noises are louder and you can hear them from the outside. It is actually a normal part of digestion most of the time. Rarely, if accompanied by pain, it may mean there is an obstruction in the bowel.

Question 7

every time i eat and lay down, my stomach constantly makes noises and won't stop... why does that happen and what should i do about it?

Accepted Answer

Hyperperistalisis: Your stomach is trying to pass food again the pressure of lying flat on  your stomach, causing "gas sounds". It is advisable to wait at least 30 minutes before lying flat down. Additionally, different people have different digestive patterns. This is worth checking if you are concerned.

Question 8

right after i lay down on my back or side, my stomach starts to make a lot of noise. it's not painful...just really loud. is there something wrong?

Accepted Answer

Runmbling belly--ok: Some rumbling is quite common and it is typically more noticeable when you are relaxing/laying down chilling out. It is so because Adrenalin is low and environment at night is often more quiet and so you can feel and hear more. As long it is not causing pain or bothering you, i would not worry too much. Often, some meditation can help quiet things down a bit. If concerning, consult doc. Good luck.

Question 9

i work out every day i'm very active i use to have abs and a flat stomach but now my abs  only show up when i lay down and my stomach won't be flat.

Accepted Answer

Diet and exercise: If your weight has increased, you may not see the strong muscles you created by working out daily.

Question 10

why does my stomach hurt only when i stand or lay down?

Accepted Answer

Many possibilities: There are many causes to abdominal pain, and a more thorough history and physical exam may help to diagnose your problem.  Sometimes labwork and other studies may be necessary for a proper diagnosis, but not always.  As any wise physician will tell you, the most important information is usually a good history of the illness. I would recommend seeing your Dr.
