An old-time favorite that works is baking soda mixed in water. Also, you might want to call your doctor or pharmacist to see if you could take Pepcid. Now that's a wonder drug!
Hope this helps!

First of all, when laying down at night, prop yourself in an upwards position. This helps the acid that contributes to heartburn to move down your body and not up.
A lot of cold ice water helps also.
Can't you take zantac with antibiotics and iron pills though? Because zantac helps alot but if you can't, also try some yogurt. It seems to help me for some odd reason. Good luck and I know how you feel. Heartburn really hurts so much. Cut back on your caffiene intake as well.

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/aMGbm
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

I have severe heartburn as well, even with my prescription it can be bad. I find that if you steer clear of certain foods it helps some. If it gets extra bad, I find eating vanilla ice cream helps. Maybe that's just me...

My mom says to get rice vinegar and warm it up slightly, then put lemon juice and honey in it. Drink like 8 ounces a day. She swears by it.
