Hi,I am Dr. Radhakrishna (Gastroenterologist). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
i get this burning sensatin in the upper part of my abdomen. it only appears at night and i cant sleep at all. only way for me to reduce the pain is to lie flat on my back which helps reduces the pain.but when i lie on my stomach it starts burning again! whats the cause of this??? would really appreciate the help
You can be having ulcer on the anterior wall of your stomach, so when you lie on your stomach the acid irritates the ulcer, leading to pain.
I would suggest that you take a course of a ppi like tab omeprazole or pantaprazole two hours after your dinner for a few days and see if that brings you relief.
