I've been feeling heartburn since yesterday, and it's really bad when I try to sleepduring the day it's there but not as intense. Can you suggest some home remedies that might help?

Hello! It sounds like you are experiencing heartburn that worsens when lying down. For relief, you can try the following home remedies: - Avoiding trigger foods such as spicy, fatty, or acidic foods - Eating smaller, more frequent meals - Avoiding lying down right after eating - Elevating your head while sleeping - Drinking ginger tea or chamomile tea - Taking over-the-counter antacids like Tums or Rolaids as needed - Trying over-the-counter H2 blockers like Pepcid AC or Zantac - Using over-the-counter proton pump inhibitors like Prilosec OTC or Nexium 24HR for persistent symptoms - If symptoms persist, it's important to consult with a healthcare provider for further evaluation and management.
