Symptoms?: Work closely with your treating doctor to see if your symptoms warrant aggressive intervention. Must be sure there isn't anything else going on.

Surgical Consult: I'm sorry to hear you are having problems with your hiatal hernia. Maybe you should see a general or thoracic surgeon with experience in laparoscopic hiatal hernia repair for a consultation.

See your doctor: If you are having a lot of problems with your hiatal hernia, a visit to your doctor is in order. He or she may want you to have testing like a barium swallow / upper G series, CAT scan or upper endoscopy to assess the status of the hernia and associated problems such as reflux esophagitis and others.
