I Was Not Aware That Spearmint/ Peppermint Can Cause The

I was not aware that spearmint/ peppermint can cause the LES to relax, I ate a large quantity of mints 5days ago ( thought it may help with indigestion ) & since then had very bad heartburn - it's really bad at night, only getting a few hours sleep. Will the LES recover & how long will it take ?
