What are some ways to stop heart burn?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Many: Acid-stoppers (old-fashioned antacids, proton pump inhibitors) are ubiquitous. If you have reflux, a trick is to put cinder blocks under the head of your bed. Most of us are trying to lose weight. Still troublesome? Your gastroenterologist may be able to help, anything from an rx to surgery for hiatus hernia or something more troublesome. Good luck.
