Eat a proper diet. Chew - well masticated. Avoid things that irritate the upper part of the stomache where the problem starts.

other - Much pain is from muscles below is an example of what may help (based on headaches).
Begin with a couple swigs of molasses or a couple of bananas (natural muscle relaxers) daily - magnesium (which regulates many things in the body) and potassium (a needed building block for muscles).
Drink at least 1/2 gallons of water per day. Running a body low on water is like running a car low on oil is the analogy the head of neurology at UCDavis told my husband about 10 years ago.

Now to the cause - muscles - your back, neck shoulders and head have tender spots. They are knots in the fibers of the muscles called trigger points. It makes the muscles tight which makes them press on nerves and other things causing the pain.

The cure - start with a professional massage, (if this does not do it you probably need a chiropractor as well) you will also want to go back over any place you can get to 6-12 times per session up to 6 times per day rubbing (or lightly scratching on your head) every where that is tender until the knots go away. The place where the skull connects to the spine press up under the edge of the skull (to get to those muscles).

For more information read The Trigger Point Therapy Workbook by Davies. It teaches what to do and where the pain comes from.

This book is probably the most informative and practical guide on the subject of acid reflux and heartburn that I have ever read https://tr.im/Bf68P
I was prescribed Lansoprazole which was brilliant but after two years of aching joints, extreme muscle pain which the doc gave me cortisone jags for, with some research I discovered the drug Lansoprazole was causing these rare side effects but it was I who diagnosed it NOT my doctor, I came off the drug 2 months ago, changed my diet and discovered just eating an apple stops any acid reflux, I eat an apple before bed, brilliant no acid, any time I feel the slightest sign of reflux I simply eat an apple. Apple juice is not that good nor is anything else I have tried including honey at stopping reflux.

Answer 7

You really need to see a doctor. You may need to have an upper GI test. You probably have acid reflux. In the meantime, cut down on coffee, eat small meals, don't eat foods that will upset your system, such as peppers, hot sauce, acid foods, that sort of thing. Sleep with a few pillows so you are not lying flat. Protonix, a prescription, is supposed to help heal the damage from acid reflux, but you will need to discuss this with the doctor.

Answer 8

I know it sounds weird but I get heartburn alot and every time I do I eat a pinch of ground coffee. My husband swears by vinegar. He drinks a teaspoon of vinegar and it helps. I know it sounds weird but I hope it helps.

Answer 9

This is a natural program that you can try to cure your acid reflux http://acidreflux.toptips.org

Acid reflux disease, also known as gastro-esophageal reflux disease (GERD), occurs due to the coexistence of several medical and lifestyle conditions. Physiological factors that trigger GERD include lower esophageal sphincter (LES) hypotonia (the gradual weakening of the LES), along with retrograde flow of stomach contents into the esophagus, and the level of sensitivity of the esophageal mucus to the reflux content.
