Heartburn can be a bothersome condition, especially if you suffer from it on a regular basis. There are several things that you can do to treat your heartburn symptoms. Among them, and probably the most important thing to do is to change your diet. Another common way to eliminate the symptoms is to use heartburn medication.

Modifying your diet might seem a little overwhelming in the beginning. There are a number of items that you should exclude from your diet. Among them are onions, tomato products, fried foods and spicy foods. However, if you know specific products do not cause you to suffer from heartburn, then you should be able to continue eating them.

If your heartburn symptoms are not to severe or frequent it is possible that you can use one of the many different over the counter medications that are available at almost any local store. However, if your symptoms are becoming a more common occurrence and seem to last longer, it might be best for you to meet with your doctor or other medical care provider.

Here are some choice of heartburn medication:

1. Antacids. These generally will neutralize the acids in the stomach. In most cases of heartburn, taking an antacid will solve the problem. If you decide to take one of the many available antacids, you should follow the dosage directions on the packaging.

If you are taking the antacids frequently, you should consult your doctor to determine if there is something more serious going on. Popular over the counter chewable antacids are Tums and Rolaids.

2. PPIs or Prevacid and Proton pump inhibitors are another option. These are designed to reduce the actual production of the acids in the stomach. Taking  this medication will minimize the production of the acids in the stomach. To use this course of treatment for your heartburn you will need to first consult your medical care provider.

3. H2 Blockers are also on the list of popular course of treatment for heartburn. These block the acid from being produced. In turn with the smaller amount of acid being produced there is a smaller risk of having a bout with heartburn.

Small doses of H2 Blockers can be purchased over the counter, however if you require something a little stronger you will need to acquire a prescription from your medical care provider.

It is important that you keep track of the intensity and frequency of your heartburn. This will assist you medical care provider in suggesting or prescribing the right heartburn medication for you.
