I have severe acid reflux and chest pain every half hour, and I cannot sleep. What medication should I take for relief?

Asked by Male, 52 · 5 days ago

While your symptoms may be severe acid reflux, frequent chest pain can also mimic heart conditions. For your safety, please seek immediate medical evaluation to rule out any cardiac issues first. For rapid, temporary acid relief, you can take an over-the-counter antacid containing calcium carbonate. To help reduce acid production so you can sleep, an H2 blocker like famotidine is a suitable option. Elevating your head and upper body with extra pillows can also help prevent acid from rising. Please consult a doctor before starting daily medications.
