It flares when I sit for a few hours and also on a full stomach, it is partially relieved by lying down by not completely. Prior to this I have experienced several bouts of acid reflux treated with lanzepralzol. l am on a low does of tyrosine for hypothyroidism. Is it an abdominal hernia what should I do.

Hi.
Thanks for your query.
The pain in the upper abdomen at the ribs, which increases on sitting for a long time and on full stomach, partially relieved by laying down, known case of acid-reflux, and on low dose of Thyroxine (Tyrosine ?) can not be due to the medicine for Hypothyroidism or Abdominal Hernia.

The most probable cause from your history is :
Costochondritis if there is local tenderness.
Or Gastric Ulcer or cancer.
Hence the need of the following investigations:
Upper GI Endoscopy and biopsy.
X-ray of the chest
Get the proper diagnosis to get properly treated by a General Surgeon.
