Ugh.... I woke up at 4am this morning with horrible heartburn, and spent most of today feeling like I'm going to throw up at any minute. I'm two days into a 14 day course of prilosec, I hope it helps.
Do you have allergies? If so, make sure you're taking as much antihistamine as is appropriate, it's said to be the worst allergy year in almost a century. My allergies lead to postnasal drip, which seems to form a wet bridge that brings acid all the way up my throat to the back of my mouth.
If this is *part of) your problem, I'm not sure if decongestant will help or will make things worse. Tums didn't help me much in this situation, the only thing that I remember success with is eating Tostitos or similar rough-ground-corn tortilla chips. I don't know if "corn chips" (e.g. Fritos) are close enough or not.
