I'm having seriously awful problems with heartburn lately. It's awful, and I need help as it's stopping me from sleeping.

Last night has been the worst yet - I could only sleep if I was on my back and propped up on a heap of pillows. Unfortunately, as an ex-tummy-sleeper I'm way more comfortable on my side... But I haven't found any way to sleep on my side and be propped up, and the more horizontal I was, the more acid would leak out of my stomach. The pain was so intense it kept waking me up.

Now here's the bigger problem. Chewable antacid tablets do bugger all for it. Liquid antacid medications make me puke (psychological, I know, but I just can't deal with liquid medicines but I can swallow any number of tablets I'm given no matter how big).

Is there ANYTHING I can do? Anything at all? I see my OB on Thursday afternoon, but I'm not sure I can last that long with a shred of sanity intact if I don't get more sleep!
