Suggest Medication For Excessive Belching And Gastritis
I cannot lie down to sleep because of discomfort...pressure pushing up toward my lungs. I belch a lot and pass gas. I find some relief by sleeping sitting up. If that doesn t work I walk. Sometimes by morning I am relieved and feel more relaxed in the abdominal area just below my ribs. Then I can lie down to sleep. This started a few weeks ago and is getting worse. I am not bothered by this during the day when I am up and active. What could be the cause?
