What Causes Discomfort In The Upper Abdomen?

I am 47 year old female. I have discomfort in my upper abdomen. I feel discomfort especially when I lay down in bed. I have trouble going to sleep because this is uncomfortable feeling. I do not ever feel it in the morning when I wake up. I feel good in the morning. it is not a severe pain , but more like an uneasy feeling like I feel movement in my abdomen. It feels like something is flipping around inside me. I feel full and bloated all the time and have stomach ache often. I am very over weight and am hoping that by exercising more this will decrease. Or is this is a digestive issue of some sort ? I do have large fibroids . I am hoping it is not related to heart. Can you advise anything ?

Hello. i think you have gastritis or acid peptic disease. You need to follow few tips.

1. Do not eat spicy food
2. Take medications for gastritis- pantop/omez/rantac
3. Take little food at frequent intervals. Breakfast around 8am, small snack at 11am, lunch at 1pm, small snack at 4pm and dinner at 8pm
4. Drink plenty of water
5. Do not smoke, take alcohol or tobacco and even excess of coffee and tea
6. Do not take much of stress. Stress aggravates gastritis
7. Do regular exercise. Atleast half an hour per day
8. Learn meditation techniques
9. Follow this regularly for 21 days. It is said that anything you practice regularly for 21 days becomes a habit
