I always feel heartburn. Have acidity problem. Almost more than 5 months passed. I've been taking zinetac 150 mg twice (someday once a day) for nearly 3 months. For few days I have been taking it 150 mg twice a day regularly, but now I feel heartburn 6 hours after I take Zantac 150 mg. I do not eat hot or spicy food etc. I eat chicken mostly. Apart from that I eat biscuits in the breakfast. I take tea twice or thrice a day. What should I do?
