It could be your position. The position you are sitting in, the chair, though usually get a back ache or neck ache. SInce it does go away when you lay down, it may very well be your position. but you also sit for hours in school, and you don't mention a stomache ache after sitting in school for a long time, so again, I think it may be the position that you sit in. Make sure your back is supported and your feet are on the floor and the monitor is at eye level. And even people who work at computers all day are advised to get up periodically and stretch. So I suggest you stretch also. If you are starting to develop a problem in your digestive system, (that has nothing to do with computers, mind you) you will find that the symptoms will appear more often and will be of longer duration. BUt I can't think of any conditions that cause stomache pain that also dissapears when you lay flat.
I hope this helps.
