what to take for really bad heartburn?


Question:
i have taken 2 types of antacids and tried baking soda in water.........it is still with me after 7 hours

Answers:
7 hrs? that's not heartburn, you may have GERD or something along those lines
inflammation for that length of time is not normal, especially if it can't be neutralize by a base
a doctor can give you a proper diagnosis

Other Answers:
Eat a whole pizza pie and follow that up with 3 hotdogs, extra mustard and lots of onions... If that doesn't help....
If what you say is true that its still there after 7 hours then, that's more than a regular heartburn. Heartburns, of what I know, is suppose to last for just a few minutes not hours. You should consult a doctor for that--just to be on the safe side.
Pepcid AC
Prilosec

Pepto Bismol
Tums, Rolaids
Maalox

Ginger Ale

your best to go to a doctor as it won't go with what you are doing
Heartburn happens when you eat much. The acids from your stomach is coming up to your throat thus feeling the "hurtburn". Minimize your eating & drink water so you wont produce more acids.
If you have it all the time you will probably need an acid blocker to prevent acid buildup, like Pepcid, Zantac or Prilosec. These are all over the counter and you can get Pepcid and Zantac generic (Famotidine and Rantitidine). If you have a good presription plan you can ask your doctor for a prescription for stronger agents like these.
