Oh man. I am about to whine. Please indulge me
I don't whine very often. I don't even complain very often. I have a very high tolerance for pain but I am really struggling right now.
I am having MAJOR heartburn issues. Last night, I woke up at 3AM with the worst heartburn I have ever experienced. I popped several Tums and drank a bunch of Mylanta. It lasted for over 2 hours and my esophagus is STILL hurting this morning.
It was worse than just general heartburn, at least to me. My whole rib cage hurt and my back hurt too. All of the muscles around my ribs were contracting and I couldn't breathe. Has anyone else experienced this? What can I do? I am taking the Tums but they do nothing and it takes HOURS for the Mylanta to work. I think I should call my doctor but I don't want to appear to be a PITA.
If nothing else, just some hugs would help.

This is one of my pg issues too. My childbirth teacher told me to chew gum and it has worked to help a bit.

Complain away! It's one of my favorite pastimes. I would definitely call you dr. if your that uncomfortable. There's no need to add to your suffering. Have you tried Zantac?
In the meantime,

I haven't tried Zantac because I am still in my second trimester. I heard I wasn't supposed to use it until the third trimester.

Don't know if this is a good 3am solution, but a couple of spoonfuls of mint chocolate chip ice cream really helped me (can't eat ice cream anymore, though )- the cold+the mint+the milk was really soothing. Feel better

Definitely call the doctor!! It's the worst feeling ever. It feels like you are going to have a heart attack. It takes your breath away.
Have you tried milk?

That is EXACTLY how it feels. The chest pain was just AWFUL. I drank some milk this morning and it eased a little. But I am just not myself today.
Thanks for the support ladies. I don't often have days like this.

Sorry to hear you are feeling so crappy - that sounds miserable! The mint chocolate chip ice cream suggestions sounds pretty good and soothing. Good luck!

I don't have any suggestions - other than to speak with your Dr - it sounds miserable and I'm sorry you're feeling this way

I am so sorry. I have the worst heartburn EVER! It brings me to tears EVERY TIME and now it seems like every single thing I eat or drink brings it on. Luckily, Tums helps me tremendously.

Re: Oh man. I am about to whine. Please indulge me
that sounds so painful..... yeah, you really should contact your Dr. There's heartburn, and then there's nuclear-strength baby-induced mega burn.... Something has to be done for relief! consider it good for both your health, and your baby's health! After all, you need rest.....
feel better!

I haven't tried Zantac because I am still in my second trimester. I heard I wasn't supposed to use it until the third trimester.
Talk to the doctor before you completely rule out Zantac.... I put it off for the longest time, and I'm kicking myself now Kat....
I don't wait for the HB to kick in. I take a Zantac 150 every night at 9 or 10 pm cuz it is a 12 hour pill anyway, and it supposedly takes a little while to kick in. It has been my personal life saver, and just to let you know - I only use it at night.... I occasionally use Tums during the daytime now.

Re: Oh man. I am about to whine. Please indulge me
I know that for me inthe first few weeks, a glass of warm milk with a tablespoon of honey did wonders a temporary get me to sleep fix. I also slept on an incline!!
Hope the Zantac is OK though cause that would be the best thing!

Re: Oh man. I am about to whine. Please indulge me
I just switched from Tums to Zantac a few days ago. I'm in my 3rd trimester....it has saved my life. Talk to your doctor. My doc was telling me to switch to Zantac from my second trimester on.

Sorry! I havn't gotten any heartburn yet so I don't know but wanted to send you tons of hugs my date week twin!!! Hope you feel better!
I can relate to the sleeping thing, I wake up every night to go to the bathroom, then can NEVER fall back to sleep. UGH! I guess I am getting ready for sleepless nights. Feel better soon!!!
