Thanks for your question on Chat Doctor. I can understand your concern. You current symptoms on air bubbles feeling on lying down are mostly due to HERD (gastroesophageal reflux disease). HERD is due to laxity of gastroesophageal sphincter. Because of this the acid of the stomach tends to come up in the esophagus and cause symptoms of central chest pain, gaseous distention, air bubbles, gurgling feeling etc. So follow these steps for better symptomatic relief. 1. Avoid stress and tension. 2. Take pantoprazole tablet on empty stomach. 3. Keep 2-2 pillows under head in bed to prevent reflux. 4. Avoid hot and spicy food. Avoid junk food. 5. Avoid large meals, instead take frequent small meals. Don't worry, you will be alright. Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wish you good health. Thanks.
