It's only temporary relief. A rush of water will stop the production of stomach acid momentarily, but it will return. Try using antacid tablets (I recommend Zantac 150 and Gavescon) after consuming food you know will give you heartburn.
Heartburn is caused by acid leaking back into the esophagus because of partial relaxation of the valve between it and the stomach. Generally it is caused by fatty or spicy food, both of which cause the valve to relax.
If a person drank a great deal of water and then compressed the stomach, or if the valve was relaxed otherwise, the acid/water mixture could rise through the valve and definitely cause a burning sensation. If this happens often, it would be a good idea to speak to a doctor about it. Acid reflux can cause serious long-term problems.
It's another name for acid reflux, so has nothing to do with your heart. The connection between your esophagus (food pipe) and stomach is leaky, so acid regurgitates up and burns the bottom part of your esophagus.
Sodas are among the worst drinks to cause heartburn. Any carbonated drink has a lot of acid in it, and that makes your stomach acid churn up and create heartburn. A better choice of drink for a person who suffers from heartburn is plain water or unsweetened tea or coffee (although coffee can also cause heartburn because it has so much caffeine in it).

What you eat actually causes heartburn. Some people get heartburn when they eat Hot Dogs and spaghetti. The process of digestion causes heartburn.
Heartburn is a common symptom of pregnancy but heartburn alone should not be an indication of pregnancy.
Foods that have a high fat content in general may cause heartburn/reflux so perhaps as the fish oil pills are being digested it's causing the same problem. Some fish oil pills have a nasty side effect of you burping up a fishy taste and it helps if you keep your fish oil pills in the freezer to reduce this side effect. Perhaps try putting them in the freezer to see if that reduces heartburn as well.

Treating heartburn with baking soda and water is not harmful over time.
Drinking dairy milk may temporarily relieve some of the discomfort of heartburn, but will cause the stomach to produce more acid and can make the heartburn worse. Drink water.

During a heartburn, you can try taking antacids to neutralize stomach acid, avoid trigger foods like spicy or acidic foods, and drink plenty of water to help dilute stomach acid. Avoid lying down immediately after eating and try to stay upright to help reduce symptoms. If heartburn persists, consult a healthcare provider for further evaluation and treatment.

Do you seemingly suffer from heartburn on a regular basis? If so, you're not alone. Heartburn is a pretty common after effect from eating spicy foods or drinking alcoholic beverages. If you're in need of some fast relief for your heartburn symptoms, try gulping down a glass of milk to soothe the burn. It should instantly help lighten the pain and provide long-lasting relief. On a more serious note, if you suffer from heartburn regularly, it would be a good idea to contact your physician to work out a treatment plan.
