Seeking Tips for Managing Burning Pain in Heat

Also, the best sleeping position to help keep the acid where it belongs is on your left side. Any other position allows gravity to have fun, but on your left side gravity keeps the acid in your stomach where it belongs. I've found this extremely helpful as well as using Pepcid Maximum Strength tablets when needed. I wish you luck ❤️

I agree with the above, but milk makes mine worse. What is helpful for me to prevent it is not eating or drinking anything other than water for 2-3 hours before bedtime. But, for breakthroughs, a few crackers, tums, and sitting in my recliner for a while helps the most. If you do not have an adjustable base, raise the head of your bed 4-6 inches.

Over the counter antacids, eat a slice of bread or a few crackers to soak up some of the redildule stomach acid (a glass of milk might help too), and sit up until the pain goes away. Don't lie back down until the pain has been gone for at least 10 minutes, or it might come back. For me, the may goals are to get rid of pain as fast as possible and to keep it from coming back. This method isn't foolproof, but it's work for me many times. I also keep a bottle of tums on my nightstand at all times, and a sleeve of saltine crackers isn't uncommon either

I find sipping ice cold milk really helps myself 😊
