Hi,
I am a 33-year male with a normal weight and with a healthy diet (low fat, no soda, no can food and no fast food). From about 3 years ago I am having a dull stomach pain while sleeping, which causes sore throat and much discomfort and restlessness. When the pain is not so much, I feel better throughout the day until falling asleep again. If the pain is more intense this remains during the day. But, the problem is fundamentally at night when sleeping, so I cannot rest enough which is affecting my performance at work and studies.
This happens almost everyday and this worsens when I eat more fat or can food. This somewhat lessens when eating fruits and having a light meal during night. However, even in this case the pain persists. Even sometimes when eating too little food at night would be worse. I have not much stress and any variaition of stress level seems not to affect significantly to this problem.
Also, I experiment a minor pain in the right upper part of my stomach, under the ribs, that increases when the problem at night is intense. I took 1 ultrasound (for the upper part of the stomach) 2 years ago, 2 endoscopies and a GERD exam and they didn't find anything wrong.
What can it be? What other exams do you recommend to take? What nutrition would be most recommendable to try to overcome this problem?. I would appreciate any comment or suggestion on this.
Thanks,
