Here's what you do:

Get some heartburn pills, like from Safeway or something. You want Zantac or the equivalent. Next, get one pill out & ready to swallow. Next, Pour a half glass of water, like 4 ounces or so. Mix in a half teaspoon of baking soda and stir until it's clear. Make sure it's clear. Drink it, and swallow the pill. (Half teaspoon only. More is not better in this case.)

The baking soda water will eliminate your heartburn in about 15 seconds, and last long enough (an hour or so) for the pill to take effect for long term relief.

I do this usually twice a day, sometimes up to four times if I'm going crazy with chili and tequila. It works.
