chew a stick of spearmint gum. The oils in the spearmint act as an anti-flatulent. Chewing stimulates the production of saliva, which neutralizes stomach acid and corrects the flow of digestive juices. Spearmint acts as a digestive aid.Health Question & Answer

(Prilosec), if it is chronic heartburn, you may need to take the drug indefinitely-or for one-to two-month periods when your symptoms flare up. With ulcers, the drug can usually lower the acidity of your stomach and upper gastrointestinal tract enough to allow any sores, scars, or irritations to heal. Then you can stop taking it, or switch to a less potent drug. In either case talk to your doctor about gradually stepping down from your current regimen perhaps by taking half a dose, then alternating every other day with ranitidine (Zantac) or another mild acid-reducer. And good luck.Health Question & Answer

Treating the symptoms is ok but we should also look for the cause.

If you have it all the time or are older you should see a doctor. Heart problems can feel like heartburn. Other concerns are obesity and sleep apnea.
