Ulcers Cause Heartburn

Q.What is causing this heartburn? I know everyone from time to time gets heartburn, but up to a couple of months ago I rarely did. If I take gaviscon either tablets or liquid for several days the heartburn goes for about a week, then it comes back, not after meals but any time of the day or night. I did have a word with the pharmacist, but I certainly do not have the symptoms pertaining to an ulcer. so can anyone in the group help me please?

A.Try using an extra pillow when you sleep , the angle of your throat will then stop acid from coming back and forth in your sleep and irritating you. Other than this have a look at your dietary pattern and see if certain foods especially provoke your heartburn. Make a log for a week of what you ate and the severity of the pain , then you can analyse it. This is what i did and with a few changes the heartburn went Arrange for a Urea Breath Test, simply blowing into a tube and this will help your doctor treat what you have. Also stay away from hot spicy and fried foods. Also avoid lying down and straining alot whils bent over
