Heart chkd out ok had all tests. chests pains must be my hiatel hernia pain could be brought on by purging? protonix pepcid tums not helping what now

Hernia repair: I am not clear about your statement above. And why is there a question mark? Are you saying you engaged in repeated purging bringing on chest pains? Since you are stating that medical treatments are not helpful, the logical next step is to consider surgical repair of the hiatal hernia. Consult a general surgeon or thoracic surgeon. Or stop purging?
