See your doctor: Antacid medications prescribed or over the counter can be helpful. Avoid eating late at night, do not eat for several hours before lying down. What tests did you have that diagnosed a hiatal hernia? A gastroenterology evaluation may be indicated, as I do not have enough of your clinical information here.

Meds or surgery: Medication first, then consider an endoscopic or surgical procedure.
