How can the heartburn be fixed?
First, would make sure to establish care with your local GI doctor to ensure there isnt any long-term damage to the esophagus. Then, would try over the counter Pepcid Famotidine 40mg for a few weeks. If no improvement, you could trial a proton pump inhibitor like Omeprazole. The most helpful treatment for heartburn and acid reflux are lifestyle modifications such as: avoiding hot spicy and acidic foods, avoiding caffeine, avoiding added sugars, avoiding alcohol, eating smaller more frequent meals, not eating within 2 hours of going to bed, and elevating the head of your bed.
