    My OB recommended Pepcid AC to me.  It worked great until the end - at that point the heartburn was so bad nothing helped.

    ETA:  For immediate relief, I found Maalox to be helpful.

    I've had awful heartburn too. My doctor said to use Tums as the first line of defense and if that doesn't work than over the counter Zantac is okay.

    My dr told me I could take 2 pepcid every morning, no matter if I had it or not. If you wait to take it until you feel the HB its too late.

    It worked great for several months and just recently started coming back at nighttime, so she wrote me an RX for Protonix

    Mine was awful too.  When Tums stopped working, I switched to Mylanta (by the gallon).  And actually, often I found a glass of milk helped too.

    Pepcid worked ok for a little while, but then I needed something better. My doc recommended Prilosec and I never had a bit of heartburn from then on out. You have to take it everyday, but it was a miracle pill to me at the time and worked wonders.

    My OB told me Prevacid. Works like a charm!

    A natural remedy is supposed to be drinking 1 - 2 tablespoons of apple cider vinegar.

    Hope you feel better.
