A member asked:
What can explain pain in the epigastrum that is worst after lying down for a while, e.g. after a sleep? is it ibs?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
GERD: It sounds more like gastroesophageal reflux. Try taking a proton pump inhibitor (PPI) like nexium, (esomeprazole) zantac or prevacid. Take it once a day at night and also see your doctor for more information and an evaluation.
