Stomach pain and heartburn can be caused by a variety of factors, such as diet, stress, smoking, excessive alcohol or coffee consumption. It is difficult to suggest a specific method of treatment based on such a short description. I encourage you to make an appointment with your doctor, who will adjust the treatment according to your current clinical condition. If you do not have the possibility of an in-person visit, I encourage you to take advantage of the teleconsultation:

As a pharmacist, I can only give you general information. Here are some tips that can help alleviate these ailments:
1. Avoid eating fatty, spicy and acidic foods, which can exacerbate heartburn symptoms.
2. Eat smaller meals, but more often to avoid putting too much pressure on your stomach.
3. Avoid soda and alcohol.
4. It's a good idea to avoid eating 2-3 hours before bedtime to prevent heartburn while lying down.
In online and brick-and-mortar pharmacies, there are numerous preparations that reduce the secretion of gastric acid, from the group of Proton Pump Inhibitors. On an ad hoc basis, without a prescription, you can buy a preparation containing, for example, omeprazole, pantoprazole, for a 14-day treatment. If the medication you are using turns out to be insufficient, I encourage you to consult your doctor. The medications used include, m.in:
Ortanol Max: https://www.gdziepolek.pl/produkty/57969/ortanol-max-kapsulki/apteki
Pantoprazole: https://www.gdziepolek.pl/produkty/88715/pantoprazol-teva-tabletki/apteki
