Why does my stomach pain get better after lying down?
-
Hello, my stomach hurts sometimes. When I lie down, it goes away almost completely. However, it returns almost as soon as I stand up, and generally stops after a few hours. This has been happening since I was 10. Any ideas of what this could be? I don't have any other known medical concerns. I am 20 years old male. Any idea why it gets better after lying down? Thank You.

@kinnel Hello, the pain could be caused by many reasons but Digestive problems are considered the most common cause. It could be caused by gastritis or IBS. Try a food diary and monitor stress levels to identify a pattern to your pain. Both these conditions are strongly linked to stress. If you haven't seen a doctor, make an appointment to get tests and a diagnosis. You will get a more definite answer from your doctor. Thanks!
