Hey, Cheryl, what did they do to rule out acid reflux? The burning, near the stomach, and worse when lying down than sitting up are all symptoms of stomach acid backing up into your esophagus. Also of an ulcer up near the top of the stomach. (In either case with sitting up gravity keeps the stomach acid where it is supposed to be.)
