Somatoform disorder.: You may have anxiety disorder too. The physical findings such as gastritis, gerd and hiatal hernia usually there is pain but no " terrible stomach pain" and it would respond to antiacid , h2 blockers and proton pump inhibitors.

Hiatal hernia pain: Ativan (lorazepam) helps you to relax and it may help with the hiatal hernia that slides up and down the diaphragm area. The majority of your pain is probably from your hiatal hernia which is fixable.

Stress: because everything you described could be caused by stress. Ativan is a good stress relief medication, that why you feel better with it, as you know it is not enough, with it you need to take all the medication that have been prescribed to you to allow the digestive system to heal. find a way to relax, like yoga, or meditation. your stomach is a mirror of your mood. fix your mood. good luck.
