Liquid gaviscon helps, but if not go and see your GP as they can give you tablets.

Unless you get free prescriptions I would pop into your local chemist who would advise on this as well as providing a cheaper remedy.

Pepcid two is the best thing I have found. It works very fast & lasts up to 12 hours.

I once came across a poster at my dentist's advising to see a doctor (amongst other things) in connection with any difficulty in swallowing. Curious as to why (why a general advice poster to the public advising this) I read up on the subject and in the course of that came across hiatus hernia (which I had heard of but only now understood). In A Pickle is correct to advise you to see a doctor because (from my reading) the possible effects of frequent/constant reflux over time can be quite worrying.

I've found that avoiding grains and restricting sugar in my diet has completely cured me of heartburn.

If it is not too bad try peppermint capsules from the health food stores - they worked for me for a while
