Can hiatal hernia resolve on own? if i lose weight (5'3) and 150 lbs, and if i eat better? i cant stand the pressure it gives me .

The hernia: is actually a defect through which a portion of your stomach protrudes through an opening in your diaphragm causing heartburn or gastric distress. I agree that weight loss is a smart idea to relieve symptoms and the use of acid inhibitors like Pepcid, (famotidine) Zegerid or Prilosec will help.
