SELF-TREATMENT To prevent heartburn, it's best to avoid lying down for at least two hours after eating. Avoiding fats, chocolate and citrus foods may also help. Antacid medications may ease symptoms immediately. Other medications such as omeprazole and ranitidine take longer to work, but may provide more effective relief. SEEKING MEDICAL CARE See a doctor immediately if you: Have chest pain along with sweating, shortness of breath or pain in the arm or jaw Experience heartburn symptoms that don't respond to antacids Make an appointment to see a doctor if you Experience heartburn two or more times a week Get reflux symptoms that interfere with sleep Develop a new cough Have difficulty swallowing, nausea or vomiting Don't improve with self-treatment Lose weight unintentionally 🚨Source: @HeathSafetyTps
