I will usually take a pill and it works great but I don't have any with me today so I have been drinking water trying to get rid of it. It easier up for awhile but it's back again. I changed to a different coffee so I am thinking it could be what's causing it or if may be the new medication that I am on. Either way I have to get rid of it.

I had prescribed pill after my heart surgery and it worked great but then they took it away on me. I have tums at home but forgot to bring some to work with me.

You are lucky. I never thought of milk. I think it would work.

I don't usually have it, but if I get something like that I usually take a Tums or maybe pepto. Both work well.

@Happy2BeMe That's good. Heartburn can be very painful.

I drink cold milk to ease the heartburn symptoms. I have learned that from my mom. Feel better soon!

I heard the cold brewed coffee has less acidity to it - but we haven't tried it out yet. Hubby had big time heartburn daily - but then he started drinking water with just a splash of organic apple cider vinegar. It literally stopped his heartburn, that is, if he remembered to drink it first thing in the morning. You would think with vinegar it would make it worse, but I guess there are articles out there about how that works. In any case, he swears by it!

I take a pill (Zantac) for it daily. I also will take a couple of Gaviscon chewable antacids before I go to a Mexican restaurant. (I know, stay out of the Mexican restaurant and my heartburn will go down.) I'm trying to lose weight, which will also help.

I use Zantec when I need it but today my Zantac was at home and I was at work. I took it when I got home and feel better now.

You don't think it could be heart related? With your history of heart surgery, don't assume anything.
