Re: can you die from heartburn?

  • Nope, cause I'm still alive and kicking.  It keeps waking me up at night.  I can't sleep with more than one pillow, so it is worse then.  It's the H's that are threatening to kill me at the moment: heartburn, hemorrhoids and hicks (Braxton).
  • The other night I was convinced that HB could kill you. Mine was consistently horrible requiring round the clock meds until a week or so ago now since I guess baby is lower I was able to back off of the meds a tiny bit. Thank god it's June tomorrow!!!

  • I started taking Prevacid again.  My heartburn was so bad it was waking me up all last weekend.  Ugh.

  • LOL!  I hear ya!  My other questions are: can you overdose on Tums, b/c I pretty much max out the daily recommended amount (plus some)?  And will I get cavities since they have sugar and I take them in the middle of the night without brushing my teeth after? hahaha.

  • I've heard taking too many Tums for too long can lead to kidney stones.

    I have been taking Pepcid twice a day for a few weeks and it's helped greatly. Before that, waking up to heartburn in the middle of the night was just horrible. 

  • Mine is getting pretty bad too.  It seems like I can't eat anything!

  • No but it can feel like you're having a heart attack if you have acid reflux disease. That is how I got diagnosed with it at the age of 20. Nexium is my best friend!
  • The throat of fire is what I feel like I have.  Tums are great.  Guess we are going to have some hairy babies!  3 more days till my Sch CS!

  • I am so thankful for Tums. The past two nights I have taken Tums and only woke up to pee and change positions. It was amazing...

  • I'm going to say yes.

     

    but I haven't heard any cases of heartburn resulting in spontaneous combustion yet, so I'm hoping it's really rare that it's fatal.
