Is this GERD?
Hi doctor! Lately, I've been feeling some pain in my epigastric region. That said, I can't lie comfortably on my left or right side without some form of discomfort. It helps if I incline my body to about 240° when sleeping, but I feel a mild discomfort if I don't. I've also been belching throughout the day and couldn't defecate for 2-3 days. I have been diagnosed with GERD before, but I'm not sure if this is GERD related. Any help?

Yes it's GERD that means gastro esophageal reflux disease. So your sphincter is not contracting well and remains in a relaxed state which leads to gastric contents regurgitating upon lying down flat.
Next Steps
avoid spicy oily foods and don't fill your stomach full. never lie soon after your meals
Health Tips
if you feel extremely heavy and regurgitating food consult a doctor
