Heartburn Medicine During Pregnancy

Q.i ate some Buffalo/hot wings earlier today, i was laying down before and my chest just started burning? Im not sure exactly. Im guessing its heartburn. I don't have any medicine right now, and seeing as its 1 in the morning i can't go get any. So what will sooth this? Can any one in the group help me please?

A.Complementary and alternative medicine Several home remedies exist for treating heartburn, but they provide only temporary relief. They include drinking baking soda (sodium bicarbonate) added to water or drinking other fluids such as soda pop or milk. Although these liquids create temporary relief by neutralizing, washing away or buffering acids, eventually they aggravate the situation by adding gas and fluid to your stomach, increasing pressure and causing more acid reflux. Further, adding more sodium to your diet may increase your blood pressure and add stress to your heart, and excessive bicarbonate ingestion can alter the acid-base balance in your body. You should never lie down after eating, because gravity doesn't work in helping the progression of food. Thus, acid gets up into your esophagus from your stomach. Don't drink milk, it'll only make it worse. You don't have pepto-bismal, or malox, or tums? They would help relieve the burn.
