Need some advice from those of you with heartburn

My heartburn is out of control the last couple of weeks especially early in the morning and during the night. For several years now it has just been a problem after drinking a lot of beer and I could take some antacids for temporary relief. It's to the point now where I need to look for a long term fix. From yalls experience, what would yall suggest I do as far as tackling this?

Need to go to a GI and get checked.
How old are you?

Start taking Nexium daily.

Obviously get it checked out.
But Nexium is a miracle for a lot of people. Famotidine also works for me but not on the same level.

Start spitting instead of swallowing

Go to doc and get on Protonix. You will never have heartburn again.

If you eat shitty foods.....I'd quit that.

Prilosec. Get the script from your doc, it's a lot cheaper than OTC

Throttle back on the beer.

That could cover up a real significant issue.
If it's that severe he oughta get looked at first, IMO.

Prilosec.
take 1 pill every other day.
Also, buy the big bottle of zantac. take 2 of them for immediate relief.

I was having issues with heartburn a few months ago. I would start having chest pain at work constantly so I decided to go to see someone. My physician told me that it was only heartburn and to take prilosec or generic omeprazole twice a day. I haven't had any problems since.

Definitely go to the OT for all of your gastrointestinal concerns. Obviously a much better idea than going to see a gastroenterologist.

Start out taking 2 Prilosec for a couple days straight, then take one a day.

About a year and a half ago I was having tons of heartburn. If I was out at a bar drinking beer or bourbon, I would have to eat a bunch of Tums. Like half a bottle.
Went to the doctor and he wrote me a prescription of Omeprazole (Prilosec) 40 mg. I've been taking it since then and it's been a life changer.

Go to the dr and get a script of Nexium. Works wonders but be warned, shite isn't cheap
I was amazed at how much just drinking a few glasses of milk a day helped. It doesn't seem Iike it would do much but drinking a glass before bed was a game changer

Cut out fast food and reduce alcohol consumption. I would do that before starting any medicine.

Nexium is now OTC. Get nexium and lay off the beer. It will cause massive heartburn.
