Tums or Prilosec: Either Tums or Prilosec are safe options to treat heartburn. There are no significant drug interactions for either of them. Prilosec gives more reliable acid suppression. Note: if you have to take it longer than two weeks, you’re going to want to loop your doctor in for further evaluation. If it’s simple heartburn, s/he should know anyway; if not, something more serious should be ruled out.

Heartburn: Studies show gastroesophageal reflux disease GERD is worse when laying down and also worsened by caffeine, citrus, tobacco. Heart disease can also be mistaken for GERD. If you are having chest pain, please be seen by a physician in person ASAP. As far as rapid action, Zantac 150 once a day for 3 days can provide a bridge for the time a proton pump inhibitor takes to work. You are on too many meds
