Any kind of carbonated drink helps me. Sprite, coke, dr.pepper, they are all good. Tried TUMS?

Chronic heartburn is usually from acid reflux - stomach acid is getting past the little valve and into your esophagus. You also should know some natural ways to treat your heartburn. Learn them here https://bitly.im/aM9gz
The most immediate thing you can do is to stop drinking coffee and cola. Smoking is not good either, but that might be harder to stop. Don't over-eat. Don't lie down too soon after eating. Don't burp too much - this carries acid up with the burp.
heartburn the most common symptom of acid reflux disease (also known as gastroespohageal reflux disease, or GERD). Heartburn feels like a burning pain in the center of the chest. It is caused by acid from the stomach backing up into the esophagus. is a symptom of acid reflux disease (GERD) Also known as Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease

If you have nothing at hand like baking soda, all I can think of is
water, plenty of water, it will help to wash off the acids in your stomach.
try not skiping meals and then eating a lot, it is the worst thing you can do, and always drink lots of water, plane water, no sodas, no greasy food, walking, lots of fruits an vegies, I used to have the same problem I made this changes and now it is gone,,,,,,unless........I skip a meal,,,,,then I go for the baking soda,,,,,,but be careful with that specially if you have high blodd preasure, it has lots of sodium, good luck, I would go and try to find a 24 pharmacy............or call a friend if you don'r have a car,,,,,a really good friend

i use to have the same symptoms. i got relief when i stopped lying down after eating and stopped taking heartburn meds. everyone is different what i do is eat 5-6 small meals a day and stopped drinking sodas and coffee. try drinking apple cider vin mixed w/ water and sip it during your meals. it worked for me.

Mineral water is a great natural remedy. Drinking a glass of it before, during and after every meal if you know the food you're eating is going to be heavy on your stomach.

hello, I have used pepperment candy mints and helped heartburn and indigestion. They actually worked very well for me. Red grape juice works sometimes for me but peppermint better. I recently ate some pineapple and it helped too.
Hope you feel better.

You should do things to help prevent it like, don't lay down before an hour after you eat, avoid spicy food.

milk will work, cider and vinegar are acids, baking soda is a base, you want a "Base"
