What Causes Dizziness And Nausea When Sleeping On Back?
I have a problem with nausea when I lay flat on my back. I never really thought it was a problem that I needed to find a remedy for until now. I am working with a personal trainer who is working on my leg, thigh, and glut muscles. He is certified in muscle therapy. I lay on the table and he will apply pressure to certain muscle areas. During this time of 30 minutes I progressively get very sick to my stomach, light headed and really need to convince myself not to vomit. This lasted a good couple hours afterwards. I had this a couple times in the past during massages. I do not lay flat at bedtime, I sleep with a couple small pillows. I have no pain or heartburn.

I warmly Welcome you!
Thanks for consulting me at virtual clinic. I have carefully worked through your case, and I can realize your health worries. Being your physician, I assure you not to worry as I will take care all of your medical concerns.
Even without heartburn you may have signs of reflux of stomach acid. Its because your lower esophageal Sphincter has lost its strength due to some medical reason. When trainer applies pressure and it transmits to abdomen it pushes on esophagus and leads to reflux and the symptoms which you described.
I am Starting from Omeprazole40mg twice daily for 2 weeks.
Plus Metoclopramide (Reglan) 10mg 3times a day per oral for 7days ( it needs a prescription from your physician.)
If you need further, detailed and quick assistance related to any health issues, feel free to 'ask me a question' directly from my profile. You can also attach Lab reports and pictures with direct question.
