Hello,
You have pain that gets relieved on lying down. It is the abdominal pain that gets relieved by lying down. Not all positions of lying down are helpful for relieving when you are in discomfort due to bloating. Some positions make it worse, like lying down on your tummy. Lying down on the back relieves your stomach, by reducing the pressure on the stomach. Sometimes, chest pain also gets relieved on lying down for some time but may come back after some time. Peripheral arterial disease (PAD) presents with cramp like leg muscle fatigue or heaviness, pain may occur in the buttocks, thigh or calf muscles while walking or climbing stairs.
The pain typically ceases five to 10 minutes after you rest or stop the activity. You are suggested to get a general health examination done by a GP. Get all required routine tests, investigations and imaging tests done so that the pathology causing you symptoms may be detected and treatment given at the earliest. Stay away from addictions if any.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Nupur K., General & Family Physician
