While you do need to be careful with the high sodium content, bicarbonate has many health benefits. It should be taken on an empty stomach. Only use in low amounts such as 1/4 teaspoon 2x per day. If you are taking prescription meds, you need to check with your physician first.

But it's also quickly eliminated from your stomach so relief may not last long. Because it reacts with stomach acid and can produce a significant amount of carbon dioxide gas, people often belch or get flatulence when using sodium bicarbonate. Sodium bicarbonate has high sodium content and is not appropriate for people who are on salt restricted diets or have congestive heart failure, high blood pressure, or kidney problems. Because it provides such a significant amount of sodium, even people who are not sodium restricted should take this into consideration. For pregnant women, antacids containing sodium bicarbonate are not considered to be safe for them to take.
