Suggest Treatment For Hiatal Hernia

ok, I just found out that not only do I have GERD but I also have a hiatal hernia. What is the best thing for me to do, other than stay calm and keep in touch with my doctor? I am also a colo-rectal cancer survivor (stage 4) since my last operation on June 12, 1986, so I know there are miracles that happen to help, because I feel like a walking miracle.

Hello,

As long as your question is concern, I would like to say that in case of hiatal hernia if this is not so severe, then it may not need any treatment.

But even for the marginal hernia, try to avoid taking heavy meal, spicy meal, oil and fat containing meal and it would same for the GERD too.

Try to have more alkali food, like green leafy vegetable, avoid taking, coffee, alcohol and smoking prior to bed, else with the medicine condition may be cure or remains under control.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Akhtarhusain
