A member asked:
How do you treat gastritis at home? & where does it come from? is it because i eat then lay down? feel like it's in my upper stomach/middle of chest
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Could be GERD: Sounds like this could be acid reflux - as it is felt in the chest. And reflux is worse when you lie down as gravity no longer helps to keep acid in the stomach thus it "refluxes" more easily up into the esophagus and voilà you get chest discomfort.
