Question 5

i try to avoid toxic drugs and treatments. what can i try before i go for traditional medical care for hiatal hernia?

Accepted Answer

See a doc: First - if symptoms are persistent and/or severe, you need an egd.  This is a simple test that is painless to look inside your esophagus and stomach to confirm the diagnosis and to look for premalignant changes.  Try otc Omeprazole or a similar acid blocker - don't eat right before gouing to bed.

Question 6

i take 40 mg nexium (esomeprazole) a day for 7 years i am 29 i have a hiatal hernia he said its a safe drug he is a doc that handles these things is he right worried?

Accepted Answer

Yes and no...: No drug is perfect, &amp; pros of long term use of acid blockade need to balance against cons (bone fractures, low magnesium, C.difficile infection). H2 blockers (tagamet, zantac, (ranitidine) pepcid) have been around since the late 70's, are safe, but may require increasing doses to achieve acid suppression. Proton pump inhibitors (ppi's) are also generally safe, but talk to your doc about lowest effective dose.

Question 7

can you actually rid small hiatal hernias? why if mine is small my acid reflux is so major? those over the counter drugs do not help me either. do i need surgery? would it be a long recovery even for a small hiatal hernia?

Accepted Answer

: Your small hiatal hernia may be an incidental finding that has nothing to do with your acid reflux. Food, stress, alcohol, and medications can contribute to persistent symptoms of acid reflux. The next step is a visit with a Gastroenterologist.

Accepted Answer

See doctor: You need to see your doctor for this fluid you state. Now better get going on this one.

Question 9

heartburn for years. ppi drugs dont help. have small hiatel hernia. cdiff 10 mnths ago. morning heartburn and can't get rid of it. on 300mg of zantac (ranitidine).

Accepted Answer

Maybe just heartburn: ...But atypical chest pain especially in middle aged women is nothing to ignore. The potential origins may include: heart, lungs, mediastinum, esophagus (due to dysmotility disorders, gastroparesis, biliary/pancreatic trouble, and/or non-acid reflux), musculoskeletal, pericardium (sac around the heart), pleuritis, bronchiitis, or referred pain from a remote site. Further evaluation is warranted.

Question 10

i have hiatel hernia, for past 4 months my urine is very dark, and very strong-smelling--could it be the prescription drugs i drink lots of water=just had back surgery a year ago..i do have "coital incontinence" i am 40, and i have had 1 child.urine is ju

Accepted Answer

The : The dark urine should not be related to the hiatal hernia or prescription drugs.  Dark urine for four months should be evaluated.  It could be related to a liver or a kidney issue, so seeing a physician would be a reasonable next step.
