indigestion and laying down?

i get indigestion / burning sensation most nights when i'm in bed *trying* to sleep.

it doesn't seem to matter what i eat or drink beforehand.

i get really thirsty during the night too but when i drink water this makes the burning in my oesophagus much, much worse.

does anyone know what this is and how i can prevent this?

    See your doc and ask about prilosec. What you are describing sounds like "gerd". Which is when the acid from your stomach goes backwards. Prilosec should cure it. Try raising your head as well. Tums are good for temporary help.

    sounds like gastroesophageal reflux disease. Try not to eat an hour before you go to bed, no tight clothing, no carbonated drinks. put a couple bricks under the head of your bed or elevate your head on pillows.
