A member asked:

What does it mean when you ate something spicy and you go to sleep then you wake up and your whole stomach hurts.

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Heartburn is: What this is commonly referred to, but it could be a stomach ulcer, acid reflux or barrett's esophagus. Try taking some over the counter antacids and sleeping slightly sitting up. If certain foods seem to be causing the problem, try eliminating them from your diet. For persistent problems or to be sure, visit your doctor.
