It could be a hiatus hernia. The medics say you shouldn't eat late and then go to bed. Try and eat earlier and let your meal digest before going to bed. I'm not sure if this answers your question or not. Hope you get it sorted soon. sylvi...

You really shouldn't lay down after a meal, by laying down your stopping your body from digesting the food properly. We need gravity to help everything move through our system, so try eating a little earlier and allowing any air to make it's way out of the stomach before you lay down.

Try drinking some plain boiled water after you've eaten before you lay down. This is a very old fashioned remedy but I've known it to help and it's not as bad as it sounds !!
