A member asked:
I've been having episodes of severe chest pain, i've went to the er & been told it's severe reflux but what medicine can give fast relief?

Changing diet: To avoid trigger foods is paramount to helping heart burn/acid indigestion. The proton pump inhibitors (ppi) class of drugs are the greatest at stopping acid production at the cellular level, and can be prescribed by your dr. Best wishes.

Pepcid (famotidine) ac: For quicker relief. The Prilosec otc for longer relief. And see a GI specialist.
