Thank you for being available here. I have a lot of heartburn. I get heartburn when I m working hard, the way a working man works, lifting heavy boxes, moving around heavy items that takes more strength than I actually have but I make it happen. I m a woman and not a man but right now I m doing a man s kind of physical work, though NOT aerobic, just heavy lifting and hauling, for hours. I immediately get heartburn from working like this. But I also get heartburn when I go to bed and lie down. Heartburn comes on and I relieve it by drinking baking soda. I don t want to go on doing that. But why am I having heartburn both when doing hard work and also when I m trying to rest, trying to sleep? Unfortunately, I don t have any money right now. It s the end of the month and I only have social security which I don t receive until the beginning of another month.
