A member asked:
Choices besides fundoplication for gerd/hiatal hernia? have asthma, and need to be able to vomit if i get mucus build-up. protonix (pantoprazole) not enough for now.
A doctor has provided 1 answer
See GI doctor: You may need more frequent dosing of Protonix (pantoprazole) and even addition of a H2 antagonist (ranitidine etc) plus lifestyle changes. You may also consider a Linx device which requires endoscopic placement. Obesity is one factor which worsens GERD and it is far better to work on this before contemplating any surgical procedure especially when it makes both the GERD and asthma worse.
