A member asked:
Would an ulcer feel better or worse by changing positions like sitting up or lying on one side?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Not necessarily.: Laying down face up ( supine) may increase GERD, causing heartburn ( dyspepsia). You shouold be on specific medication to inhibit acid production.
