How can I get rid of indigestion?

[BlondieK143]

I'm at work and can't leave so unless someone can help me out, I'm stuck feeling this way for another 8.5 hours. HELP! :(

1. milk? raid the managers office for Mylanta is another choice. eom

[BlondieK143]

3. :(

There's none here. Any other options?

8. Drink water

Get a big glass of it and drink it slowly. It should mitigate some of your indigestion. How awful when you can't get away. When you can, get some Pepcid tablets. It's powerful stuff. Pricey. But it works immediately.

Good luck!

On edit: I don't agree with drinking carbonated beverages. They can even cause indigestion. So, if you've got that burning feeling, stay away from them. And if your burning persists, you really need to get away and find something. You can burn your esophagus.

[Lestat]

19. Tums, Mylanta, Pepto Bismol, Tagamet....

Or maybe some Ginger Ale pop. That always helps. :)

[BlondieK143]

I don't work at Walgreen's. :D

[Lestat]

21. You do work in a hospital...

Homehealth agency. Close. :)

[Lestat]

25. So...

[BlondieK143]

30. The only things that are here...

[Lestat]

[TheWizardOfMudd]

22. Take Pepcid AC 30 minutes before each meal

And don't call me in the morning! ;)

[BlondieK143]

24. I'll try to remember that for the next one!

:) Thanks!

[WillyT]

26. Soda Water, Bitters, and a Lime Squeeze !!!

You local bar should be able to oblige!

Good luck!

[Champ]

27. Umm Rolaids, Tums, Pepcid AC?

If none probaly some Cherry 7-up or Citra will do(works for me)

[eleny]

28. Btw, where the heck are you?

Are you in an office or taking care of someone in their home? Just trying to figure out how you can get some help.

[BlondieK143]

29. In an office building.

All by myself (and we're not allowed to leave for any reason whatsoever).

[eleny]

31. Thanks

How's it going? Is the burning subsiding a little? Try walking around a bit, too. That may cause the stomach acid to stay down instead of moving upward.

[BlondieK143]

32. I can't really tell a difference.

It's not really a constant thing, just in different spurts then it hurts like hell. I think the water and sprite (yes, I'm drinking both at the same time) might help. Not sure. Thank you again for taking the time to respond, I reallllly appreciate it!

[eleny]

37. You're welcome

Hubby and I get it, too, and it's a real nasty deal. The water should water down the acids. Chewing gum also stimulates saliva to water down the acids. If it refuses to go away, my last encouragment would be to call your boss or supervisor, explain what's up and get thee to a grocery or drug store!

Nite and good luck!

[BlondieK143]

38. Goodnight!

And thanks so much again!

[WillyT]

36. Not ALLOWED To Leave ??? - What Sweatshop Ya Workin For ???

:wtf:

[BlondieK143]

39. It's either I leave...

and I have patients calling in and dying on me, or I stay here and calm them down and try to help out. :shrug:

[WillyT]

42. Well... You're An Angel Then !!! - Bless You !!!

Hope ya feel better soon.

:hi:

[Kali]

34. stand up, walk around

Do NOT drink milk. A little soda pop may help - drink very slowly and not too much - if from food both will help, Best is tums or equivilent - the cheap stuff from discount stores are fine - and they have calcium.

[BlondieK143]

35. Okay, I'm walking around the room.

(of course, when I'm done typing this). Thanks for the help!

[Kali]

40. not pacing,

just to give your stomach and esophagus some more room

Hope you feel better. Get some tums for nest time.

[BlondieK143]

41. Thank you!

And yep, I'm going to keep a permanent supply here at work!

[MI Cherie]

43. How about chocolate?

It may not help, but it tastes good! :)

[BlondieK143]

44. Sounds good

but I'm afraid to eat anything else!
