Hiatal Hernia: Must consider laxity of "valve" (esophageal sphincter), which consists of diaphragmatic muscle bands, that keep stomach juices in the stomach. If lax then when you recline gastric contents might regurgitate because you are horizontal. Try sleeping with cinder blocks under front legs bed & over-counter antacid. Don't lay diwn within four hours of eatin. See a gastroenterologist if persists.
