Hello. What's your diet like? Its probably some thing you are eating. Onions give me really bad heartburn xx

[nomorepanic]

try Omeprazole - very good for it but really the doc should examine you and then prescribe it if necessary

I used to get stints of bad heartburn, a combination of diet, being over weight and too much alcohol was to blame? I figured out that fried bacon was a pretty reliable trigger for my burn.

I used to munch on Pepcid 2 which worked very well but it seems you can't get them any more?

I even resorted to eating the chalk in the pub if I ran out of antacids which used to go down well with the darts players:D

Hi

I get this from time to time and normally a months supply of tablets from the doctor does the trick.

My doctor said it's just acid reflux and once everything becomes inflamed you just need something to reduce the acid in the stomach for a while so the inflammation can calm down.

Don't worry it's really common but do go to your doctor, they will normally just want to examine you so they can prescribe something to alleviate the symptoms.

Take Care

Hi
I had problems like this recently and was diagnosed with gastritis which is an inflamed stomach lining. I was given lansoprazole and took it for a month and ate really bland food, rice and boiled veg, toast and some cereal and drank lots of water. I also took enteric coated peppermint oil in capsule form from the health food shop. It all cleared up and I am fine and if you just look after yourself and go and have a chat with your GP I am sure you will be fine very soon.
