Acid reflux/heartburn relief?
Acid reflux/heartburn relief?
I mean the kind where there’s like trapped gas in your chest/stomach and you have to keep burping. It’s really been disrupting my sleep because whenever I lie down I have to sit back up again to belch it out. 😳 I imagine that this is what an infant feels like when it won’t sleep because of trapped gas. I take Zantac, but that doesn’t even touch my symptoms. Maybe helps with sour stomach and burning but that’s it.
It’s just gotten so bad, I can’t even breathe when I’m in the worst of it. It kept me up last night and I’m awake 4 hours later with it still. I even start dry heaving because of it.

Peppermint Tums

@tooserious86, Do you think so? I was chewing peppermint gum last night hoping it’d help but then I read this:
“According to the University of Maryland Medical Center, peppermint can actually relax the sphincter muscle which closes off the stomach from the esophagus. This can cause stomach acid to pour back into the esophagus and make heartburn or GERD worse.”
But so many said to take peppermint on different forums! So I’m pretty confused.

Pepcid is the only thing that has worked for my heartburn

@aurevoiramber, & it’s safe for pregnancy? When I was on BabyBump someone suggested a certain heartburn medication to me but when I went to look at it at the store I googled it and it said not safe in first trimester so it totally freaked me out lol.

@leahdeere, yes Pepcid is safe, my OB recommended it to me
