Suggest Remedies For Persistent Heartburn Causing Sharp Pain Around The Shoulder Blade

I was just setting at computer this am when it started, we had just finished breakfast, a little late, but it being the weekend, I fixed little beef sausages and scramble eggs, I did put some extra hot sauce on mine, and yes I have a history of heartburn, but this has lasted all day, I first took an asprin, and then an aleve and I also laid down till 7pm and when I awoke guess what its still here with me, now I am leaning against a small ice pack, when I move it I will see if it still hurts, its a sharp pain I think its just right before shoulder blade on left side, and yes it still hurts
