What's the matter with stomach pain lying down and feeling better sitting down

Stomach pain is better when lying down and sitting down. It is considered to be related to reflux esophagitis, bile reflux gastritis, pancreatitis and other causes.

1. When patients with reflux esophagitis

lie down, gastric acid and gastric contents reflux to the esophagus, stimulating esophageal mucosa and nerves, which will cause pain.

2. When patients with bile reflux gastritis lie down and

rest, bile reflux from duodenum to stomach damages gastric mucosa, which will lead to stomachache. After sitting up, bile reflux symptoms will be relieved, so stomachache symptoms will be lighter.

3. Pancreatitis

is a retroperitoneal organ. If pancreatitis is serious and affects the gastrointestinal tract, it will also cause stomach pain when patients lie down. The pressure on the retroperitoneal wall will be reduced after sitting up, so the pain will be better.
