Mild, infrequent heartburn - antacids or famotidine (Pepcid) on as needed basis. Antacids with aluminum can be constipating while those with magnesium can have a mild laxative effect (probably not noticeable unless you are taking multiple)
More significant or frequent heartburn - OTC omeprazole (Prilosec) 20mg (1 capsule) taken 30 minutes before breakfast, on a daily (not as needed basis).
Rationale for taking prior to eating is that PPI is first absorbed into blood stream (packaged as an enteric coated pro drug) then localizes to the acid secreting cells (secretory canaliculi of parietal cells, where it is protonated and trapped). Eating stimulates gastric acid secretion (food buffers acid, vagal inputs from act of eating and fundic distension), at which point the PPI irreversibly binds to the pump.
If you are male and have chronic (>5 yrs) or frequent (> weekly) heartburn, and at least 2 of the following, you should have a one time upper endoscopy to check for precancerous changes of esophagus (Barretts): age >50, caucasian, central obesity, tobacco use, family history of Barretts or esophageal cancer.

I thought the consensus was that antacids are trash unless you have an ulcer or something, that you just need to get your valve to close so the acid doesn't come up where it shouldn't be.
Also I would never take a PPI, prilosec OTC ruined my life.
Actually, I have none. Hardly ever used twice after using ACV in my smoothie causing acid flowing into my throat. A little of this took care of it. You might wanna try it, trial and test to see what amount works for you. Only caveat is that any excess amount may be deleterious to stomach acid you actually need to digest and kill any harmful intake.
