For heartburn, I would consider taking a course of OTC meds like Prilosec the way it is described on the box for two weeks. However, its is common to have other problems like a bacterial infection in the stomach that is easily treated but requires some prescriptions possibly. So if Prilosec does not work, I would see a doctor.
Try OTC meds like Prilosec or Pepcid on a daily basis if it is a real problem. If occasional just take plain old tums. If these methods do’t give relief, see your Dr. Thee maybe a serious reason besides "heartburn’.
Baking soda, or Sodium bicarbonate, is an excellent remedy for occasional heartburn. It works by reacting with and neutralizing excess stomach acids. However, it should only be used occasionally due to the high levels of sodium it contains. For frequent heartburn, try OTC drugs like Zantac or see your doctor.
