Why Does My Stomach Hurt When Lying on My Back?

Stomach pain when lying on one's back is generally caused by duodenal ulcers, reflux esophagitis, and other conditions.

1. Duodenal Ulcer: At night when sleeping, the stomach is usually empty. The increased concentration of gastric acid in an empty stomach can irritate the duodenal ulcer wound, leading to stomach pain when lying flat. Patients should take Omeprazole Enteric-coated Capsules and Teprenone Capsules orally under the guidance of a doctor.

2. Reflux Esophagitis: Reflux esophagitis is mainly caused by the reflux of gastric and duodenal contents into the esophagus. Lying flat can also cause reflux and heartburn symptoms, leading to stomach pain and a burning sensation when lying flat. It is recommended that patients take Compound Aluminium Hydroxide Tablets, Mosapride Citrate Tablets, and other medications under the guidance of a doctor.

Patients are advised to promptly visit the gastroenterology department of the hospital for corresponding examinations and treatment to avoid delaying the condition. During the treatment process, attention should be paid to improving the diet structure, keeping the diet light, and avoiding spicy and stimulating foods to reduce stomach irritation.
