I have been having a burning sensation in my chest for a day now i've never had this issue before an all i've done to treat it is take a pepcid (famotidine)?

?Acid reflux: Avoid taking caffeine products, soda, alcohol, spicy foods, oranges etc that cuase more acidity in your stomach and acid reflux. If Pepcid (famotidine) doesn't work, try omeprazole. Drink lots of water. If it worsens, go see your dr.
