Minnie 1 Posted April 20, 2012 I am 3,5 weeks out & the last few mornings I have woke up with terrible heartburn. I don't feel it in my throat or anything but I have this burning in my chest. I take nexium every morning already. One morning I took a Tums & it helped somewhat, but I hate waking up with that feeling. Has anyone else experienced this, if so, what did you do? Thank you!

desertmom 297 Posted April 20, 2012 Hi,I am on 40mg nexium and I always had an issue in the morning until I started breaking the 40mg into 2 and drinking half in the evening and half in the morning. Hope you can manage this soon. Xxo Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Lilee84 648 Posted April 20, 2012 I had that issue as well - my surgeon had me on pepcid but I switched myself to Zantac 425's OTC and took one right before bed. No more heartburn! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
