Your doctor can suggest ways to cope with heartburn, but it’s up to you to start the conversation.

The American Academy of Family Physicians suggests:

• Ask about recommended over-the-counter heartburn medications.
• Discuss possible causes and triggers of your heartburn, and what you can do to manage it.
• Talk about lifestyle changes that you can make.
• Ask about other health conditions that could be causing your heartburn.
• Discuss your favorite foods and whether they may be contributing to your heartburn.
