All these causative factors makes a person’s stomach acid to back up into their esophagus, causing heartburn.
Heartburn can be treated by the use of Antacids such as Gelusil and Tums, these drugs help to neutralize stomach acid and provide fast relief. Other solution are H-2-receptor blockers that provide longer relief, and Proton pump inhibitors.
The antacids give a quick relief but do not last for tooling but the H-2-receptor blockers, works slowly but lasts longer.

M$There are things you can take such as tums or Rolaids, but sometimes it is best to try thigns you might have around the house first. I hope this helps in some way!
