Stomach pains and waking up early?

Question

Please excuse my ignorance if everybody knows the answer to this, but, no matter how little I eat before I go to bed, or no matter if i wait 2-4 hours after i eat dinner before i go to bed, i always get this HUGE acidic, sourly, stomach pain whenever i wake up early. I think it's also my large intestine too: sometimes when i get that pain, i can feel this vertical, ~tubular~ thing harden beneath the left side of my stomach/hip. The pain gets better if i stay in bed and sleep for like a few hours, but when i do eventually wake up, it's till hurting/acidic a bit. I can't go to a doctor, i just moved and my health care account is still being processed. Taking Tums didn't help either.

Any info and help would be greatly appreciated, thank you!

Answer 1

You could be dealing with something like acid reflux disease (an example only).

I would recommend having this checked out by a doctor but due to the situation with waiting for your health coverage to kick in I would recommend checking with the city health dept to see if they offer a free health clinic to help evaluate the situation for you.
