This happened to me and still is at 37+2 weeks... I have got all my triggers worked out now.. Maybe avoid things like garlic, onions, acidic drinks, tea and coffee or whatever you have been eating/drinking before the episode..good luck :)
Chocolate is the WORST...but i love it..every night before bed i have to have about 5 tums and I keep them in a candy dish incase I wake up with it haha
Milk and cold water helps if your throat is on fire. I drank almond milk not cows milk. Oh and steer clear of chocolate and tomatoes which are also acid triggers.
Ooh chile I know how you feel! I'm still sitting up in bed waiting for my heartburn, acid reflux to subside. I'm chewing on tums as I type. My acid reflux is so bad that it gave me nearly a 2 week long earache and headache. Now i pop a tum for quick relief before it starts. I basically stopped eating for a few days. So my OB prescribed me Prilosec. I've taken it only a couple times when it became unbearable but I try to watch my diet. So keep close watch on your diet and the triggers that causes it for you. I noticed it was lots of air trapped with my stomach acid. Once I belched several times it made the big chunky knots in my chest and throat go away.
My triggers are: anything citrus, minty, spicy or fried food.
Milk helps a little as does cold water, tums makes it a little bareable. Talk to your Doc about it. Good luck!
I take pepcid and it was ok by my dr. Although it helps more to relieve gas/air bubbles for me. Keep track of what you are eating and know to steer clear of that next time.
You might need something stronger. I know how you feel.
Im having it bad too. I'm 29w4d & wouldn't dare drink no dang baking soda water lmaoooo. Ima keep up with this tho cus I need to know as well. It keeps me up at night & it makes me puke
I wouldn't recommend milk either as it causes more acidity. Yogurt on the other hand works wonders. Have a spoonful and it generally gives instant relief.
Chewing gum helps. I'm 24 weeks and have been having bad heart burn for the last couple of weeks.
Milk is slightly a acidic, drinking milk could be doing more harm than help.
I Woke up with the worst heartburn of my life this morning. I found on the Internet to drink baking soda in water. Sure enough there are directions on the baking soda box how to take it. I drank half a glass with 1 teaspoon of baking soda. Walla my heart burn was gone in about 20 minutes. Hope this helps. Btw the water tastes awful.
Peppermint, suck on candies or rub some peppermint essential oils on tummy.
