I have been having major burning in my chest for the past 6 hours...is this heartburn?  I have taken tums but it doesnt seem to be doing much good.  I thought heartburn was more in your throat than chest??  Now its 1am and I have to get up at 5:30 for work but I cant sleep...aahhh....

    Sounds like heartburn or indegestion. Try eating a peice of plain bread or some saltines. Sorry- I feel your pain!

    My heartburn is mostly in my chest and (when it's bad) it feels like it goes through to my back and causes really horrible back pain! I'm sorry your Tums aren't doing anything. I agree with the PP- try eating a piece of bread. Milk also works well for me as a temporary fix for heartburn! Best of luck and feel better soon!

    I had it bad one night.  It felt like a bubble in my chest.  Laying down was hell.  I was better propped up.

    If the saltines don't work try ice cream. It is the only thing that has been helping me since mine hasn't gotten worse. Even the tums aren't working anymore. I don't get it constantly but a couple times a week. I try to deal with it, but if it gets bad I had to eat a small dish of ice cream.

    I would sooo be eating the bowl of ice cream right now if we had some...Its 1:30AM and there is no way i'm going to the store right now...DH has to get up at 4:30 for work so I feel guilty waking him...munchinig on the saltines right now...I think laying in bed was actually making it worse. If only I could sleep sitting up...

    I would seriously give a glass of milk a try. That is usually a quick-fix for me. It doesn't always last a long time, but it seems to help within a minute or two!
