terrible heart burn need help

[MommaBear72214]

I have the most awful heart burn I've ever had in my life! even ice cubes bring it on and I don't know what to do it hurts so bad I can't function...I can't eat or sleep if I sleep I wake up every half hour with excoriating pain in my chest what helps best  :'(

I seriously feel like I get worse heartburn if I'm not eating enough. I know it spunds weird because it especially seems to hapoen WHEN eating, but maybe try to make sure there's something in your stomach almost all the time, that way the acid isn't building up and going crazy when you finally do eat/drink something. I feel like that's been helping me, and it kind of explains why it would wake us up in the night - empty stomach and acids going crazy.

Try eating ice cream,  some yogert or pudding. I get horrible heart burn almost every time I eat and one of those things always helps me! :). Hopefully it helps you to!! Good luck and hope you feel better hun! :)))

I got pretty lucky with heartburn I have only had it a handful of times but the other day I haf it ALL DAY we didn't have any milk or anything to help it. My boyfriend got me tums and they worked wonders for me he got me the peppermint kind. Mints helped for a little while but not for very long. Laying down only seemed to make it worse.

Ginger ale vitamin c

I would definitely say drink milk when it comes on, but I would also call my OB and mention this. If its bad enough to wake you up milk may not help much and they may actually prescribe you something.

Take tums

[amygaitane]

Always ask your doctor what you can take. I asked and was told Zantac or Pepcid. I take zantac twice a day and tums in between as needed. I get heartburn really bad.

I looked up natural remedies to try for myself and it suggested having baking soda and water because it neutralizes the acid. I'm trying that tonight because I get to the point I'm crying and want to puke and nothing helps

Ughh im on the same boat :( i hadnt had heartburn all pregnancy and last week once i hit 35 weeks i have had it just about every day. Even if i just have a glass of water or apple juice or something i get it and it hurts :/ milk doesnt help and tums only works for a little while :( so i completely feel your pain mama

Yup, whole milk worked for me! You could try yogurt too.
