Hello,
Thanks for the query to H.C.M. Forum.
I would come up with these possibilities for this bloating in stomach , these includes.
1 The first possibility is of peptic ulcer disease.Diagnosis can be confirmed by upper G I endoscopy .Try raising the head of of your bed about 4 inches with blocks.It might also help to avoid eating or drinking for 2 hours before you lie down.To help control stomach acid one should not drink alcohol or drinks with caffeine in them or eat chocolate or spicy or greasy foods.Also take some antacid but if symptoms are severe then you may need drugs like proton pump inhibitors.
2 The 2nd possibility is of hypertension. Diagnosis can be confirmed by physical examination at the time of pain and fullness in epigastrium region.
3 Overeating may be the next reason .
In my opinion consult a physician and get his opinion.
Good luck
