Went drinking Thursday, had chinese food last night and today, and I am absolutely burning. Don't know if it's heartburn or acid reflux, but I think I'm going to order a pizza and watch Gonzaga anyways.

nah, don't feel like going out again, unless it's to cash a ticket.


It will go away won't it.
I'm pretty sure it's not a heart attack, but it could be something else.

If it persists, I recommend the Prolesec OTC. If it still persists after a few weeks of that see a Dr.

GD,


I feel for you, brother. I get that very bad at times. May I suggest Zantac 150mg. Gone within minutes. I get it so bad at times, it feels like my belly is on fire. Zantac takes it all away. GL!

heartburn and acid reflux are basically the same thing.

Lander is right: use Prilosec instead of Zantac. Prilosec is a proton pump inhibitor and shuts off all acid production, which is what you need right now. Zantac is an H2 blocker and will only block a portion of the acid.

Alcohol loosens the espohogeal sphincter (no, not that sphincter) and will let the acid from your stomach "splash" up into your esophagus. Laying down will make it worse.

GL
