don't drink milk, it feels better in your throat, but is actually acidic, i've heard.  \n\nfirst, try to prevent it.  cut back on caffeine, alcohol, and tomatoes.  eat plenty of whole wheat bread and healthy stuff.  tip the head of your bed up with a block under the legs at the head of your bed about 4 inches tall.  this keeps the acid from running up your throat at night.  \n\ntums and maalox work well for me, and there are also meds like zantac (ranitidine) and pepcid.  if you need serious help your doc can prescribe even stronger stuff.

See your doctor!  There is medication that can help.  Otherwise the acid can eat your esophagus.

All right, here is the deal.  I don't usually tell people what to do on this forum, but let me warn you, the excessive intergestion in the setting of chest pain is a classic sign of an inferior (meaning lower part of the heart) heart attack.  Now this may just be heartburn as suggested above, but if you are having chest pain with lots of burping right now, you may want to go to the ER just to be safe, or at least call your doctor or a nurse to ask them what to do.

check with your docter, sounds like you may have severe indigestion.  You could try equalactin, sold in the over the counter section of your pharmacy.

Might be GERD.  I would see a doctor, even if all you feel is irritated at that annoying issue ... could save you in the long run, if it is.

Go see your Doctor.  Sounds like your esophagus is really irritated.  Probably a severe case of GERD.

The main cause of heartburn is not always something you ate.\nIt can be the result of what is commonly known as GERD which stands for gastroesophageal reflux disease.  This is a condition whereby acids in the stomach cause food you have eaten to partially back up into your esophagus (throat).  When this happens, heartburn is most often the result.\n\nYou may not necessarily have this problem since you say you've only had heartburn once and recently.  It is possible you ate something you've never eaten before and often times, it can be the result of of emotional distress as well, or at least, if we are feeling upset for some reason, this will not help.  Some people, when upset, may either eat more or less.  Neither is good and therefore both can cause the reflux of acids.\n\nI've been dealing with this problem for quite a while.  Sometimes I will have heartburn as it is most commonly called - even though it has nothing to do with the human heart itself.  I can go for days having heartburn and then it just disappears for several more days.\n\nAt first, I just took an antacid tablet - I prefer Rolaids Tropical Fruit (pink in colour) because I just don't like peppermint or spearmint which are common flavours of antacid tablets.\n\nSeveral months ago, I finally had to take a prescription medication called Pantaloc.  There are several medications that can be prescribed but unless your problem becomes frequent or worse than the episode you already had, I advise just trying an over-the-counter remedy.  You can also take an antacid in liquid form.  Just check with a pharmacist and ask what he/she thinks is best for you.\n\nYou say you haven't eaten well lately and this may be the only reason why you had one episode.  I advise that you try to regulate your diet and stay away from spicy foods and dairy products for a little while to see if this improves your situation.  Believe it or not, drinking milk does not solve the problem even though it was believed for many years, this was the answer to heartburn.\n\nI hope you will try a few different things on the basis of over-the-counter remedies first and see what happens.  If you improve your diet and take an antacid when necessary but the problem occurs more often or episodes of heartburn seem to worsen, then see a doctor.  You should rule out having a gastric ulcer for which you may require prescription medication.

So many  variables to your heartburn.  What I mean is that your heartburn could be caused from nervousness or from something emotionally that your dealing with, not necessarily from the water.

Some symptoms are extremely bad and they hurt a lot. For example, bloating and abdominal pain. Abdominal pain is the worst. I am only 15 when I got it and a year later, felt much better. If you suffer from gastritis, is most likely u have GERD (Acid reflux disease or heartburn). Talk to your doctor about Nexium. Helps a lot. No Prevacid, take NEXIUM! It heals your stomach. Also, try avoiding greasy foods. Try having nothing spicy or carbonated stuff. Say goodbye to soda for ever. Water becomes your best friend. Also, go to the bathroom to do #2 a lot. Your stomach has to heal and it is trying to let everything out. It takes a lot of time, I cried a lot. But it will go away in due time. Just watch what u eat. Ohhhh, no PIZZA. Sorry, it killed me too. Good luck and the best thing, u don't die from this! So, don't worry! Ohhh, don't take nothing else but Tylenol if u have like a headache or something. Aspirin and Motrin kill your stomach. Ohh, no alka seltzer, its carbonated. Take Maalox or mylanta or something. Talk with your doctor about Nexium!!! Good luck!

I always tell people that i am an alternative medicinal therapist. I deal a lot with this problem, so let's see if we can't sort you out.\nIs the pain a burning sensation? If so you are making to much acid, do you have heartburn? again it's over acidity?\nDO NOT take anymore antacids they will make the problem worse and they can also start the problem off in the first place.\nDoes it only start when you eat fried or spicy foods, if so you may have an ulcer.\n\nDo you have a lot of gas, is your stomach tender to the touch?\nYou could have a peptic ulcer or gastritis.\nTreatment.Herbal teas: German chamomile-thistle-betony-\nTablets: ginseng-goldenseal-\nCider vinegar=2 teaspoons in glass of water 2 to 3 times daily.\nIf my treatment fails go to your GP he will send you to the hospital for tests.Contact me if you need any more advice e-mail alternative@medicine123.wanadoo.co.uk\n\nGloria J Jones (BSYA-SEN)

I had attacks for years that I thought were gas.  Finally, I had a really bad attack.  I had severe pain on the right side of my chest, abdomen and back.  I felt like I had to breathe very shallow because any movement was excruciating.  I had terrible heartburn and vomited bile.

Hmm, sounds like it could be Acid Reflux.  Like repeated heartburn, and now the stomach acid has burned your throat.  Go see a doc, they might be able to help you.
