tums contain calcium, calcium is good for you, calcium requires an acidic environment to absorb, calcium from oyster shells is about 10 to 15% absorbable in the body, tums neutralizes acidity in the stomach and contains calcium from oyster shells. You will receive VERY little absorbable calcium from tums but it will upset your digestive tract to constantly neutralize the acid and have to make more...

That said, go see a doctor. Can you curl your tongue, smile, all the above stated things? Never hurts to go in and get checked out immediately!! Could hurt to wait if you do that.

Heck, could be nothing but you never know. Mine was a pinched nerve caused by a torn rotator cuff. Strange stuff that!
