heartburn medication

Does anybody know if you can take any heartburn medication, besides tums, while pregnant. I think what I'm thinking of is called prilosec or something.

I'm 19 weeks and 5 days pregnant, and I'm having some Hella bad migraines. I also have terrible sinuses, heartburn and I've been physically sick alot, with a fever and what not. I'm allergic to acetmenaphin(tylenol) which is supposedly the only thing I can take while pregnant. My doctor refuses to write me prescriptions for anything else and tells me to deal with it and there's nothing else like aspirin that I can take. She's very rude.

Famotidine has been effective in preventing recurrence of ulcers when given in low doses for prolonged periods of time. Famotidine also is used for treating heartburn and in healing ulceration and inflammation of the esophagus (esophagitis) resulting from acid (gastroesophageal reflux disease or GERD). High doses are used for treating conditions in which there are marked increases in acid secretion such as Zollinger-Ellison syndrome.

I have severe anxiety issues.. and it does say that the medication (buspar) im on can cause heartburn but it burns on the right side and its not constant just kind of random pain. Is it jus my anxiety freakin me out or is it heartburn.. or is it something else i need to worry about?

I suffered with heartburn almost all my pregnancy...I'm so upset I didn't tell my Dr sooner because I thought he would tell me tums or zantac..but he prescribed a medication named pantoprazole sod 40 mg. Girl every since I started it I have had no heartburn at all, not even that gassy bloated feeling I also had...so talk to your Dr about the medication and see what he says. Best wishes.

im 32wks and i get heartburn like crazy! anything i eat gives it to me... what can i eat to make it go away? with out any medication?

Hi! I was diagnosed with GERD about a month ago as evidenced by an Upper GI. I have never had any symptoms of GERD, such as hearburn, etc. My doctor said there is no need to put me on medication because there are no symptoms to treat for me and prolonged use of PPI's may have consequences. She said just to take 2 Tums before bed time since the acid can erode my esophagus and rises more when you are lying down. I am nervous that it is going to do damage?

For the last couple of days, anything I eat, gives me heartburn! I did have heartburn once in a while! Now I'm concerned that I get it every time I eat! Must something be wrong???

You can take tums but if you want long lasting relief zantac really helps

Is it safe to take Prevacid 24 hr. for heartburn if you are on a beta blocker, Atenolol? I am asking for my daughter who is 28 yrs. old.

Ya that's why I would just ask the doc what you can take. Unfortunately the hormone relaxin is to blame for the heartburn. I hope it gets better.

I get heartburn so frequently these days, no matter what I eat, how much, or how I sit. I never had it with my other 2. Being pregnant this time has taken a horrible toll on my body :/. I'm 34 weeks today and so anxious to get this over with.

ve been taking an anti heartburn medication and it seems to have helped a bit but the heartburn more often than not comes back. Is this something I should look in to? Could it be signs of something bigger?

I was diagnosed with acid reflux years ago so I have been on medication for heartburn for quite a while. when I found out I was pregnant the doctor took me off of my medication so the heartburn is back ten times worse due to being pregnant. the doctor told me I can take Tums or Rolaids or Maalox and none of it seems to work, I'm popping Tums and Rolaids every 5 minutes its horrible does anybody have any solutions?

I'm 19 years old and pregnant with my first baby and never had heartburn a day in my life. But now everytime I eat pizza, chili etc I get get a hurting, burning feeling in my chest and lower throat. Is this heart burn. I know probably sounds like a stupid question but I've never had this before it's hard to explain.

Okay so I am a mother expecting baby #4, so you would think I would remember how bad heartburn can get in the third trimester. Wow! It's like my throat is on fire all night really bad in bed. May start sleeping in a chair! Just wondering if anyone has a great cure?? I sip milk to put out the fire a bit. I hate chalky tums. Any other thoughts??

Please help everything gives me heartburn didn't have any at all with my daughter but now I'm burning up lol...

Ugh! Does anyone know how to at least ease heartburn? So far i have tried. Milk, water, bread, ice cream, sleeping straight up, crackers, and Tums i go threw a big huge bottle a week and that dont help anymore. Its to the point i dont want to eat and it makes me gag. Any other suggestions???

I have had epilepsy since I was 12. I'm 34 now. I was on Depakote ER most of that time. The DRs thought I grew out of it for awhile and I was off it for 7 years from 21-28. I experienced all of those side effects except the heart burn, but only at first. After awhile my body seemed to get used of the drug. I also gained weight on Depakote. That is the reason I am not on it now. I have back problems and the extra weight was brutal.

I started taking the thyroid medication levothyroxine about 5 months ago, and for a while now I have been feeling like something has been pushing on my neck. It mainly happens at night and I was wondering if this was normal or if I should talk to my doctor or what.
