HI
Well come to HCM
I really appreciate your concern, Pantoprazole is the PPI (Proton pump inhibitor ) and not the pain medicine so it may not educe the pain, if this is the pain condition with hiatus hernia then it has to be managed accordingly the best option is surgery hope this information helps.
