Some people with heartburn have big problems, whereas others are lucky to only have minor symptoms that barely dent their day. However, when symptoms get bad, there are many things that can happen. The pain can be unbearable, and constant heartburn nausea that seems to stick with you all of the time is not uncommon.

Feeling this way can greatly compromise your quality of life, and is enough to drive anyone to distraction. Fortunately, there are steps that can be taken to help keep the symptoms from taking over your life. However, unless the heartburn is being treated by medications and with a modification in diet, the nauseous feeling might not go away.

One of the best ways to fight off the nausea associated with acid reflux is to follow an acid reflux friendly diet. A specific diet recommended for those with this condition will work best.

Another thing to remember about eating is that a full stomach generally makes the pain and the nausea worse. It is always a good idea to eat a number of smaller meals throughout the day rather than sticking with the traditional three large ones.

Choose foods that are less likely to produce excess acid and eat them in smaller portions more often for some relief. It is also a good idea to stop eating at least two or three hours before going to bed to give your digestive system a chance to process your last meal of the day before you lie down.

Taking medications recommended by a doctor will also greatly reduce the reoccurrence and frequency of nausea related to acid reflux. The best medications are the ones that are taken to heal damage.

Most suffers don’t experience nausea unless their reflux has done some damage, so they may be given medication by the time nausea is becoming a common occurrence. The type of medication given for healing damage is the proton pump inhibitor. This inhibits the production of acid in the stomach and gives damaged tissues a chance to heal. As a result the nausea usually goes away, or it least become much less problematic.

There are some medications that are not given for acid reflux, but are prescribed for those who have constant discomfort and nausea in the stomach. These are sometimes given to patients who are undergoing treatment for cancer. They are known to settle the stomach and may or may not be something a doctor will prescribe when nausea is bad.

There are some remedies that might help with constant heartburn nausea that many might remember from childhood. Ginger sodas have been used for a long time to soothe an upset stomach, and someone with reflux can have this, but the carbonation might bring on symptoms. But if you leave it to go ‘flat’ and then drink it, it can offer some relief. Also, eating a piece of bread or some dry crackers might help provide at least some temporary relief from constant heartburn nausea until the reflux can be better controlled.
