acid reflux?

so I thought I've been having heartburn this whole pregnancy, and while I get it occasionally it's not what I've been getting daily. I just figured out that it's acid reflux and I think I've had it since before I got pregnant cuz I could go through a bottle of tums in no time but it's just getting worse. had anyone else had this problem, if so what did your doctor do fur you? I'm worried it's turning into something serious cuz nothing is getting rid of it and I get it from everything I eat or drink. even water.

I have acid reflux but it started after the pregnancy. I get the lovely aching chest pain with it. Once I hit 13 weeks my doctor was able to prescribe pantoprazole that is safe in second and third trimester. I take it twice a day with a meal and it's worked wonders!
