    I have suffered with indigestion problems for several years now and have been diagnosed with a sliding H.H. My symptoms are always worse at night, whether or not I have anything to eat later than 6.00. I find I have a funny feeling of movement and fluttering just below the right hand side of my ribcage which is most uncomfortable and wakes me. The only way to allieviate this is to stand up (or sit up) and lean forward. This can take a couple of hours before the fluttering stops. I also get the indigestion, but it seems I don't get both symptoms at the same time. It is either one or the other. Anyone else get this fluttery feeling? I am on omeprazole at the moment, which doesn't appear to do very much! Sleepless nights are a norm.
