Hi there,
Thanks for writing in.
Give Zantac at least 30- 45 minutes to start its action. Another possibility is that anxiety / depression can also cause heart burn.
Avoid spicy/oily food.
Have a bland diet.
Have warm water at regular intervals( at least 8-10 glasses of water a day )
Get well soon :)
Regards,
Dr. Divya Kuttikrishnan
