Severe heartburn??

I've been up for about 7 hours with what I think is bad heartburn. My chest is hurting so bad and I cancel it in my throat. I've taken tums, but absolutely no relief. I've been trying to sleep sitting up for the last 5 hours. Nothing is helping. Should I call the after hours service with hm doctor's office? I feel silly, but I'm in so much pain!

    I've had it since 24 weeks. Tums do very little. Pepcid or Zantac are fine during pregnancy. I take Pepcid with breakfast and after dinner, then a couple of Tums just before bed and it fixes 90% of the problem. Good luck!

    @kyliedaniellexx‌ I'm with you there, Gaviscon is liquid gold for me as well, I was just going to suggest the same!
    Also, when HB is real bad, I'll drink a Sprite to make myself burp... i hate doing it (proper southern girl, haha) but it always makes me feel SO much better!

    I have had horrible indigestion, bloat, heartburn, and reflux since about 12 weeks. I also had horrible heartburn with my son and Tums did the trick but, not this time. I have to take Zantac at least once a day - usually after lunch and right before dinner.
