Is it bad to lay down after you eat? sometimes it makes me feel like i need to throw up.

Its not bad but...: It can be bad for patients with predispositions to gastroesophageal reflux disease or retrograde flow (backward) of stomach contents into the esophagus. This can introduction of acid into the esophagus can produce heart burn symptoms or even nausea. If you feel nauseated after you lay down shortly after eating just try to eat earlier or refrain from laying down for at least 2 hours after eating.
