Heartburn

[AlexOC]

Ok, recently i have been getting terrible heartburn at the top of my throat, I've never had it before but my mummy gets it often.

I wanna know how to stop it, besides Rennies for shorterm, but how stop it in the long run as it can be very painfull, I do eat alot of stuff that could spur it on like crisps and chocolate but i'm a fat bugger who likes his snacks and i don't really want a big change in my everyday diet.

I'm also very fond of cake.

How can you get heartburn in your throat?

The problem is your diet. Stop eating such crappy food and you wont get heartburn. As for solving it temporarily, as you say just take Gaviscon or Rennies.

As said above Mr. Alex - if you want 'heartburn' and health problems continue that lifestyle, if you don't listen to Granny and stop now babe. Creating a thread about it and then saying you don't want to change your habbits is kind of pointless as that's the only way. Or you could balance it was healthier snacks such as carrots, grapes etc. Plus exersise will help in this case too. But mostly it's food.

You could try avoiding foods that cause you to get heartburn if you want a long term solution I guess.
Other than that, Rennies and Gaviscon can help.

I'd eat you anyday Grigeth.

And yes you can get heartburn, throat, chest and mouth.

Heartburn is when stomach acid is passed backwards up the gullet (in your throat). It occurs normally after eating a big meal or drinking alcoholic drinks. Some people get it when they bend over or lie down, or when there is something pressing on the stomach (i.e when you're fat or during a pregancy).

To stop heartburn try losing weight, cutting down on coffee and alcoholic drinks, not eating large meals before bedtime. If its really bad, and none of those things help, then see your doctor- he/she will probably prescribe an Antacid (Neutralises excess acid) or Alginate (a bit like a raft, which stops acid from going up the gullet.

Hope it helped =D

I think you should see your doctor, if your heart is in your "throat" thats not good, anyway i think your main problem is chocolate, try cutt down and it should ease down.
