I have started getting serious heartburn at night. It is waking me up and I am also having it during the morning. I’ve never had this problem before and I’m concerned about what I can take. I am not pregnant yet. My period was a week late, but all tests say I am not pregnant. Is there something that I can take for heartburn that wouldn’t hurt if I did get pregnant while taking it?

I have such painful heartburn. I usually take Zantac, but am afraid to take if I’m pregant. What can I take, chewables don’t cut it for me!!

I am 6 months pregnant, and I have the worst heartburn ever….I have it every night, regardless if I eat or not. I was taking Tums @ one point, but I felt as if I may have been taking them too much. Does anyone have any safe home remedies that may work? Your help will be greatly appreciated!!!! Thanks!!!!

I am an otherwise healthy 31 year old woman who suffers from persistent heartburn and horrible indigestion. If I don’t take some sort of acid reducer daily (like Prilosec or Prevacid) I will be in utter hell within 24 hours. As soon as the medication wears off, my stomach and throat are on fire and I have a terrible case of diarrhea! UGH!
- I am not overweight (in fact I am now underweight due to this problem)
- I eat plenty of whole grains and vegetables
- I avoid common triggers like caffeine, greasy food, garlic, etc.
- I exercize regularly
No matter what I eat or don’t eat, the problem is always there. Every doctor I go to just wants to give me another kind of pill or acts like I am overreacting. It is so bad that I have actually fainted from the pain and had to go to the ER, and I am a really tough girl, so that’s saying a lot. Anybody ever had this problem and found a cure? What could be causing this??

I am almost 13 weeks in my 1st pregnancy and believe that I have experienced my first "heartburn" yesterday I ate spaghetti sauce, and around 4 hours after I threw up, and my chest and throat started hurting a little bit after that. Then before I went to sleep once again I threw up, I’ve been pretty much like that today as well, and my chest hurts, and even swallowing my food makes it hard. What can I do to cure it? Also, when should I be concerned about it?

I’ve taken almost every kind of heartburn medication there is.. and it DOES get rid of the burning feeling, but food still goes up my throat and out my mouth, and it’s disgusting.. anyone else have this?

i read taht tums should be avoided in the first trimester, but i’ve been getting heartburn & a bit nauseaous at times alread (only about 4 wks along).. what are some safe remedies?

A quick cure for an annoying Heartburn-Problem. Its comes randomly so i dont really need to see the Dr. Any home cure or a cheap fix will do, Also i am going to try Alka-Seltzer,i wonder is this any good?

about a month ago and it helped. The heartburn actually went away. Until now. Do I need to see a G.I. doctor or should i just get another OTC treatment?

I am 27f and this is the 3rd time that it has acted up. It is interfering with my workouts(running/jogging). But, is it just something that people normally live with and treat on their own?

What are the chances that it is something more serious than just heartburn?

Sorry for so many questions.

I used to take prevacid for my heartburn a while ago then I stopped taking it when my heartburn went away but now it is getting bad again.My presription copay went up to dollars for brand name medications. What is something good I can take that comes in a generic form?
