Heartburn help me before i go mad!!!?!
Question: Heartburn help me before i go mad!!!!?
I keep getting heartburn when I wake up and after I eat any meal and drink tea!. I know eating healthy helps but when (like me) you have a budget to stick too each week for food it's difficult to afford healthy food!.
It's driving me mad becasue It's making me feel so ill!. I've tried taking heartburn medicines but they don't seem to be working!. Is there anything that I can do to help calm it down until I get chance to go to the doctor!?
Thanks in advance!.

Answers:
There are things you can do to help!. For starters, stop drinking coffee and tea!. Carbonated things can be a problem, too!. Depending on how sensitive your gut is, you might also want to cut back on high acid beverages like orange juice!.
As far as foods, don't eat until you're stuffed, try 5 smaller meals instead of 3 big ones!. Stay away from high fat things, and that includes donuts!
After you eat have a few Tums to sort of neutralize any back-splash you might get!. Don't lay down after eating, and you might even think about putting some lifters under the head of your bed so that the top half of your body is propped up a little while you sleep as well!.
If you make some of these simple changes and still have heartburn bad enough to drive you mad, you'll need to see your Dr!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Not wanting to spook you but heartburn is a symptom and potentially a deadly one!. You need to be aware of the underlying condition!. Rule out something serious!. Go to a doctor as soon as possible!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
I have the same problem! I have found that eating after a certain hour before bed causes heartburn to become more intense!.
I stop eating around 7-7:30 at night!. Sitting up a couple of hours before I lay down helps tremendously! Drink water instead of soda with your meal!. Also, don't forget to drink while you eat!. This also waters down your food in your stomach!.
The number one thing that causes heartburn in a lot of people is what the food is SEASONED with!.
Anything spicy, bitter, extremely salty, and fried give heartburn sufferers the fits all the time!.
If you have to eat things that are highly seasoned, eat them up in the daytime and NOT for your evening meal!.
One last thing, 3-4 TUMS before bedtime after doing what I've listed has cut my heartburn down 70%!.
Hope this helps until you can see the doc!Www@Answer-Health@Com
