Does anyone know a natural cure/ treatment for heartburn/acid reflux? It's so bad it feels like my chest is going to explode. The doctor recommended Prilosec, which works beautifully but raises my blood pressure to dangerous levels(240+/220+). Zantac also works but causes a discharge to come out of my left nipple. Any recommendations?

Anything thats alkaline in nature. For mild heartburn milk is a quick and easy way to get rid of it. As already suggested, baking soda is also good. Since yours is so bad I would suggest seeing a nutritionist, or taking a thorough look through your diet. You might be better off trying to reduce some of the acidic foods you are eating, rather than purely trying to treat the results

am taking nexium but has terrible side effects

Well taking apple vinegar is simply moronic. The other things you have taken will be a temporary fix. The problem can be caused by a hiatal hernia, and if you have a bad one then surgery is the only fix. But there are some logical things you can try. First if you are overweight try to lose some. I know when I lose weight my acid reflux goes away. Next if it bothers you at night, then don't eat for at least 2 hours prior to bedtime. Don't wear tight pants, and don't eat or drink acid foods like coffee, orange juice that sort of thing. I know bananas kill me. If all fails then drugs is the treatment of choice and since nexium is not working there are others on the market. Try prilosec otc. or pepsid AC they are both otc and cheap to try. If the drugs are not working then it is time to do more. Acid reflux can increase your chances of esophageal cancer, and that is a very deadly form of cancer.
