A member asked:

Hello,i want to ask that what should we do immediately after our dinner at night to digest food fast to avoid heart attack at night?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Heart burn: I'm pretty sure you mean heart burn, not heart attack. I would start with a over the counter medication for dyspepsia with your meal like zantac (ranitidine) or pepcid (famotidine). Make sure you don't lie down right after you eat too as this promotes acid reflux.
