Take some slow deep breaths. Take any kind of antacid and then follow with a glass of milk. Try and stay in an upright position. If you are going to bed, elevate yourself slightly on some pillows so the stomach acid can't creep back up.
Hope this helps.

Don't eat fatty fast food. You should find the foods that give heartburn and avoid them. Most of the antacids contain aluminum sulphate and are not too good for you.

For occasional attack take tums, for continuing problem try tagamet, if it's going to work you'll know it within a few hours. Other wise see your doctor. P.S. this condition is not a heart problem.
