See your Dr and get: Checked for a heart condition. Perhaps you may need an endoscopy to check for acid reflux, stomach ulcer and esophagitis. Cut down on caffeine, spicy foods, soda, alcohol, orange juice, tomatoes, chocolates etc. Hope u feel better soon!

Habits ????: A lot of what it takes to eliminate heartburn symptoms are frequently overlooked. Consumption of caffeine in any form, smoking, eating or drinking within 2 hours of laying down, spicy foods, alcohol all contribute to heartburn flareups.If you have eliminated these issues and tried the Prilosec for 2 or more weeks without help, a vissit to a GI doc may be helpful.
