You really need to be seen by a gastroenterologist (stomach specialist)for an accurate diagnosis. Tums is ok for occasional use with slight heartburn. Prilosec is a better choice for over the counter products.

Here is some helpful information about GERD (Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease) which is the medical term for heartburn.
