One of the first warning signs you have an inflamed Achilles tendon is pain in your lower calf, near the back of your heel. Itâs a common injury that makes the tendon swell, stretch, or tear. You can get it from overworking the calf muscle or climbing the stairs. It might stick around for a long time, too.
You can also take antacids to stop heartburn that happens from time to time when you are taking an acid reducer medicine (such as Prilosec). Some antacids, such as Rolaids and Tums, contain calcium carbonate. These may help boost calcium intake in women who are concerned about developing osteoporosis.
Calcium Carbonate Fights Heartburn. TUMS is the #1 antacid brand in the US. TUMS antacids have been trusted by millions for more than eight decades. Since its introduction in 1930, consumers have relied on the same active ingredient in TUMS antacid-calcium carbonate-for effective heartburn relief.
