more about heartburn

So, In the evening mostly, I just get all full and have this nasty taste in my mouth and feel like nothing is quite settling - a;; my food just sort of hovers in my upper belly - threatening to hop up my esophagus. I have started taking zantac, although I am trying to take smaller doses - you know, like a half a pill instead of a whole pill, once a day instead of twice. It is helping, but not fully improving the situation.

The thing that is irritating right now is I am tired and want to go to bed, but I can't lay down for a few hours after I eat (even then, I usually have to sit up and lay down over and over until my stomach finally settles.) The problem is, after waiting those few hours, I get hungry again! So now I want a snack, but if I eat, I'll have to do the whole  waiting for the stomach thing to settle.

Heartburn - not fun.
