a delayed-action medication, it may take time for the full effects of Prilosec to occur. Therefore, some patients may still experience symptoms of heartburn during the first day or two of treatment.

Heartburn affects almost everyone at some point in their lives. Heartburn that is experienced several times in a 24-hour period, that occurs many times a month, or that causes hoarseness, coughing, bleeding or swallowing difficulties, is not normal and should be examined.

More than 60 million American adults experience GERD and heartburn at least once a month, and about 25 million adults suffer daily from heartburn. Twenty-five percent of pregnant women experience daily heartburn, and more than 50 percent have occasional distress. Recent studies show that GERD in infants and children is more common than previously recognized and may produce recurrent vomiting, coughing, and other respiratory problems, or failure to thrive.

More often than not the most controllable behavior that your can implement to improve symptoms of heartburn is your diet. Avoid those foods that trigger your heartburn such as; spicy foods, chocolate, coffee, alcohol, fatty foods, fried or greasy foods, citrus, mints, even carbonated beverages. Also, eating smaller portioned meals will help. As rule of thumb, eating smaller portions more often is better than overeating at any time. Avoid eating right before going to bed. If you smoke... stop.

Heartburn is a medical condition with biological reasons. Some people are more prone to develop heartburn than others, because they have a weak lower esophagus sphincter (LES). However, bad diet habits, overweight and smoking among other causes, can, over time, provoke heartburn that otherwise would have never occurred. In most cases occurrence of heartburn is food related.

Avoid “bad” food (alcohol, caffeine, citrus fruits and juices, tomato products, chocolate, fatty food and spices) When lying down elevate the level of your head by a few inches. Use 4 inch bricks to elevate the head of your bed. That can decrease the stomach pressure against the esophagus. Don’t use pillows: Elevating your head in bed with pillows has actually proven to increase the stomach pressure! In order not to aggravate heartburn avoid any kind of stress.

This is a pretty confusing issue for a lot of pregnant women. The fact is when you're in your 5th week of pregnancy, you are 4 weeks pregnant! During the week you start your period, you are in your first week of pregnancy, but you have not yet completed any weeks so you are zero weeks pregnant. Think about it this way - you don't say that a baby is one year old during his first year of life do you? He is not considered to be one year old until he's actually in his second year.
