What Causes Tinging And Burning Sensation On Lower Chest In Supine Position?

Hi. I have burning, pins and needles sensation in the top part of my stomach when I lye down at night, I often have pain in my back between my shoulder blades if I stay in bed too long. When the burning sensation then pins and needles start, I break out in a hot flush and have to take my blankets off and leave a fan going to cool down until it goes away. What is this?

General & Family Physician,  's  Response
Hi,

Your symptoms are suggestive of dyspepsia/GERD. Timing, frequency, and diet, etc., are all important factors in making the diagnosis. For example, for how long have you had these symptoms? Did your symptoms start suddenly or gradually? How much caffeine, alcohol, tea, etc., do you drink, and when? Do you eat excessively spicy food? Do you lie down in bed right after eating food?

Here are some things you can do to see if it improves your symptoms.
- Sit upright for at least 30 minutes after eating food
- Take dinner at least 3 hours before going to bed
- Try OTC antacids
- Try to reduce intake of tea, coffee, alcohol, spicy food

If these fail to relieve your symptoms or if they worsen, you need to see a doctor who will do further testing to determine and plan further management of your symptoms.

Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Saralkumar R. Desai, General & Family Physician
