Hi, welcome to healthcaremagic. In my opinion, heartburn can be due to gastroesophageal reflux or may be due to gall stones. Get a ultrasound done to see for gall stones. You can also go for a upper GI endoscopy to rule out any gastric or duodenal up. You can take antacids like pantoprazole empty stomach but better to treat the cause.
Hope I have answered your question
