Heartburn: It's possible you're referring to heartburn, acid reflux, GERD or some variation, of which ulcer is worst outcome. There are many OTC options to calm your stomach eg calcium carbonate aka Tums & Rolaids etc, H2 blockers aka Zantac, Pepcid etc and PPI aka Prilosec & Nexium (esomeprazole) etc. Some find Maalox or Mylanta soothing. If no better, see FamilyDoc. If black stool or vomiting coffee grinds, go to ER.
