Suggest Treatment For Heartburn

I was up most of last night with heartburn. Pain & burning in my chest under my breast bone, ribs and in my back. I have a doctors appointment for my yearly check up next week. I ve only experienced this kind of heartburn a couple of times. I ate a bowel of steel cut oats for dinner tonight hoping that would help. I took a Nexium at 10:30 this morning. Any more suggestions?
