Why does my stomach hurt when I sleep?

If a person has stomach pain while sleeping, it will greatly affect his sleep. However, if you do not eat properly before going to bed, it will cause gastrointestinal motility, which will lead to stomach pain. The feeling of stomach pain while sleeping is not only caused by improper diet, but may also be due to other reasons. Next, I will introduce to you the reasons for stomach pain while sleeping.

1. What causes stomach pain when sleeping?

1 Adults often have stomach pain in the middle of the night, with a cold stomach and the area above the navel. It is inferred that there is a lesion in the stomach or duodenum, and clinically, ulcers and chronic inflammation are the most common. This depends on whether you have pain during the day. If abdominal pain occurs before a meal and is relieved after a meal, it is mostly a duodenal disease; if abdominal pain occurs half an hour to two hours after a meal and is relieved after four hours, it is mostly a stomach disease.

2 There is a slight pain in the lower left side of the rib. First, I suspect it is caused by a stomach ulcer, and secondly, acute inflammation of the pancreas.

3 It is recommended to go to the hospital for examination immediately, do pancreatic B-ultrasound (often the liver and gallbladder can be done at the same time), gastroscopy (barium meal examination will only provide diagnostic support for ulcerative colitis). Once diagnosed, natural treatment is clear.

2. Why does my stomach hurt after sleeping for a long time?

1. Bad sleeping posture

If you sleep for a long time in a posture that easily compresses the stomach, internal organs, cervical spine and other parts, such as sleeping on your stomach or curled up, it may cause stomach pain.

2. Improper diet

If you eat too much raw, cold, greasy, or unhygienic food the day before, or eat too much, and sleep too long, you may miss your usual bowel movement time, which may cause stomach pain.

3. Gastrointestinal cramps

If you sleep too long and the food in your stomach and intestines has been almost consumed, gastrointestinal motility and gastric juice secretion will continue, but there is not enough food to digest, and the stomach and intestines will have hunger motility, which may cause gastrointestinal cramps and stomach pain.

4. Poor blood circulation

Lying down to sleep for too long may lead to a decrease in blood volume and insufficient blood supply to the internal organs. This can cause poor blood circulation and cramps in the internal organs, which may cause abdominal pain.

5. Caused by disease

People with gastrointestinal ulcers, gastritis, etc. are also prone to sleeping too long. When there is no food to digest in the stomach, the gastric juice attacks the gastric mucosa, causing stomach pain, which leads to abdominal pain.
