new gerd symptom- sooo frustrated

So I was able to sleep on left or right side on the wedge pillow, but a couple of days ago I started developing this weird symptom. Every time that I lay on my side or my stomach slightly touches the pillow (or feels a slight pressure) my stomach and esophagus start burning and I start sweating very bad on my stomach and chest, like a hot flash. As soon as move on my back its ok, the burning goes away, lol this disease is debilitating, its impossible to sleep only on my back on the wedge pillow, its so hard. Anybody has this happening to them during their gerd flare?

also, I don't understand how so many people that have gerd can tolerate antidepressants or sleeping pills, every time that I tried any of them I woke up with the worse burning from hell, that lasted for weeks. Am I crazy? That is what it seems my doctor thinks.

thx guddan,

I just wanted to know if anybody had this symptom, its very strange. I don't think I still have food in my stomach early in the morning when I would try to roll on my sides. But I guess for now that is a no no, I'll have to adjust and sleep only on my back.
