Does anyone know of any home remedies for an esophagal type inflammation?

I’ve had this before. I went to the emergency room the last time and they gave me this stuff that tasted like glue. That helped.
It basically feels like a cross between someone sitting on my chest and a tightness in my esophagus where it meets with my stomach. I haven’t a clue where my Prilosec is and it’s driving me a little batty. Are there any home-type cures that could at least dull the tightness?
