A member asked:
What else can i do to take the pain away from a hiatus hernia? i always feel lile my chest and throat is on fire.
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Acid Reflux: The sensation of "fire" is due to acid reflux with or without the hernia. To improve that sensation, take anti-reflux or antacid medications many of which are OTC. Obesity, nicotine, caffeine, alcohol, chocolate, grease, mint etc. make the reflux worse. Make sure you have an actual confirmed medical diagnosis of hiatal hernia and acid reflux before you start treatment.

Hiatal Hernia since 2015. Just started having more problems suddenly. Throat red from acid, chest pain after eating, and LOTS of burping. Nothing helps. 2 Protonix and 1 Pepcid doesn't help. How do I know if it's stuck? The pain is pretty bad?
