Heartburn!

[Donna6126 7]

I woke at 3 am this morning with really bad heartburn. I take prescription meds for heartburn but I guess they no longer work. I had my surgery Sept. 26. Anyway, I tried elevating my head but that didn't help. I ended up sleeping upright on the couch. It eventually went away but came back about an hour ago. I got in my Protein Drinks but I'm so thirsty! I'm sorry to be so graphic, but I feel like I'm about to puke acid. I see my doctor for my two week follow up on Tuesday. But what can I do in the meantime? Any suggestions please? Is this normal?

Are you eating/drinking anything other than the Protein shakes, Water, or milk?

Yes. I made some Butternut squash Soup (no dairy) and have ricotta cheese. I eat tiny meals of either the Soup or the cheese.< /p>

I had surgery oct 3 and had really bad heartburn the second night in hospital and they gave me some chalky stuff to drink. I ask when I left what I would do if that happened at home. They said I could take over the counter stuff with no issues. I took some tums the other night cause it came back and that helped. I still take my daily ppi as well.

Thank you, thisisthenewme. Nice to know that even PPIs don't always work. This is the first time it's bothered me since I was in the hospiral.
