Heartburn Treatment

Q.I am really tired of this problem. I am suffering heartburn during midnights twice in a month and it lasts for two hours?reasons and treatments? Idon't know the reason why I am so tired of that. It makes me sick all day and I can' t either sleep or eat well. Can anyone point out a suitable treatment for me please?

A.I'm not sure what you are doing to cause this, however you need something to neutralize the stomach acid. over the counter heartburn medicine. If you cant get to any of that stuff but somehow have milk. drink the milk because it is more basic then your acid in your stomach therefore it will neutralize your acid a bit for the time being. i would also like to add that a minor heart attack can be mistaken for acid reflux. Your best bet would be to take an acid reflux medicine, and see a doctor to make sure that that is what is happening. Chronic GERD. You might need an endoscopy to see whats wrong, and then prescription medication. Your esophagus is producing too much stomach acid and it is backing up in that area. They can put you on medication. I use Protonix, Its a prescription and is a bit expensive but works wonders. I was hospitalized since the age of 8 on and off many times for this junk. Reglan (prescription medication) also works great. I usually take them together.
