Explanation : You right. When you are tired and not sleeping enough your stomach functionality down and you feel like acid reflux is worse on awakening. It could be different clinical presentation, but, in your case by reflux. Best wishes and good sleep.

I suffer from Acid Reflux/Gerd, however it is happening now on a weekly basis, along with weight loss and tooth decay due to acid, as well as black tongue and dark stools. Interferes with sleep. Have been for 2 scopes in 2 years. Why is it worse?

I have stomach pain and always have gas everyday when I awake or asleep. Does this have to do with having Gerd or acid reflux?

With Gerd or Acid Reflux, if you have a flare-up overnight, can it still bother you the next day after you wake up? Is it because you've been asleep and have an empty stomach when you wake up? Or is it due to another reason?
