a good heartburn relief
Whats a good heartburn relief? besides tums and milk. nothings working.?
Eat a proper diet. Chew - well masticated. Avoid things that irritate the upper part of the stomache where the problem starts.
other - Much pain is from muscles below is an example of what may help (based on headaches).
Begin with a couple swigs of molasses or a couple of bananas (natural muscle relaxers) daily - magnesium (which regulates many things in the body) and potassium (a needed building block for muscles).
Drink at least 1/2 gallons of water per day. Running a body low on water is like running a car low on oil is the analogy the head of neurology at UCDavis told my husband about 10 years ago.
Now to the cause - muscles - your back, neck shoulders and head have tender spots. They are knots in the fibers of the muscles called trigger points. It makes the muscles tight which makes them press on nerves and other things causing the pain.
The cure - start with a professional massage, (if this does not do it you probably need a chiropractor as well) you will also want to go back over any place you can get to 6-12 times per session up to 6 times per day rubbing (or lightly scratching on your head) every where that is tender until the knots go away. The place where the skull connects to the spine press up under the edge of the skull (to get to those muscles).
You really need to see a doctor. You may need to have an upper GI test. You probably have acid reflux. In the meantime, cut down on coffee, eat small meals, don't eat foods that will upset your system, such as peppers, hot sauce, acid foods, that sort of thing. Sleep with a few pillows so you are not lying flat. Protonix, a prescription, is supposed to help heal the damage from acid reflux, but you will need to discuss this with the doctor.
