What's the best way to get rid of heartburn at night?

You need to avoid known food triggers. You can take some over the counter antacid pills. You can put the head of your bed on bricks.

The best thing to do is to put something into your stomach, some light food. Also take two or three pillows and sleep in half-sitting position.

Try milk. I've found Whole Milk works the best. It lines your stomach and often will lessen or completely get rid of heartburn. My boyfriend drinks it every time he feels pain. If you want an actual medicine, Tums works best for my father who has suffered with heartburn for years.

Place several pillows behind your back at bedtime and gradually over several weeks remove one pillow at a time once the heartburn begins to subside
