Just a thought: You may have a hiatus hernia...a herniation of the stomach into the DIAPHRAGM and made worse by a full stomach so that your eating/drinking may be aggravating it.. Try eating smaller amounts and not "mixing" solids and liquids Lying down makes it "better" because it reduces the pressure on the stomach !!!!! Hope this is helpful! Dr Z
