I have the worst Heartburn right now and have been having it every evening.   I feel like I  have knifes stabbing into my chest and back. I think it may have something to do with going off my meds, I'm still on the depo shot for a couple more weeks so I know it's not a preg. symptom...but man I want to die about now!

I'm sorry. Heartburn sucks!

Have you tried taking something for it?

I used to take Zantac when I had heartburn. It always helped.

Pepcid AC.

They say don't lay down, but its actually false.  But lay on your LEFT side.  Since your tubes that run to your stomach (having a brain fart moment of what those are actually called...lol) curve to your right, lay on your left and the acid has a harder time traveling up to your chest.

Also, avoid things like chewing gum. It gets your stomach acid going thinking you are about to eat food.

And try and drink some pure lemon juice, either mix with water or a few teaspoons raw.  

Also apple cider vinegar works too, but it just tastes GROSS.

Thanks Ladies, I took some tums. But the only thing helping is sitting up hunched over a bit. Yuck,  I haven't had it this bad since I was preg. with Ezra. And I can't find my Zantac
