Waking up with stomachache in the morning

If you have a bad stomach, you will easily have stomach pain. However, some friends find themselves having stomach pain every morning. In severe cases, stomach pain may even wake you up in the morning. In fact, this is mainly because our body's blood circulation slows down after sleep, coupled with the condition of the gastrointestinal tract, which causes this kind of pain. So, how to alleviate it?

1. Causes of stomach pain in the morning

(1) Lack of sleep

High pressure from work and life, or staying up late, can lead to insufficient sleep and physical fatigue. When you wake up in the morning, you may experience stomach discomfort, stomach pain, bloating and other discomforts.

(2) Slow blood circulation

If you feel stomach discomfort after waking up in the morning, it may be because your body maintains one posture while sleeping, resulting in poor blood circulation, slow metabolism, and insufficient qi and blood in the stomach.

(3) Incorrect sleeping posture

When sleeping, maintaining the same posture for a long time, such as curling up or other postures that put a certain amount of pressure on the stomach, can easily cause stomach pain in people with poor gastrointestinal function.

(4) Excessive gastric acid secretion

After a night of sleep, gastric acid is still being secreted, but there is no food in the stomach to digest. This will increase the irritation of gastric acid to the gastric mucosa, causing stomach discomfort when you wake up in the morning.

(5) Bad eating habits

Eating too much cold drinks or spicy food the day before may also cause stomach pain, bloating and other discomforts the next day; or overeating and eating difficult-to-digest food the night before may cause indigestion and stomach discomfort.

(6) Suffering from stomach diseases

People who suffer from gastrointestinal diseases such as gastritis and gastric ulcers are prone to stomach discomfort when they wake up in the morning, and may even experience nausea, vomiting, and severe stomach pain.
