If you are overweight, losing weight is imperative for controlling GERD and hiatal hernia. Losing weight is not easy and joining a support group like Weight Watchers may help. Get HPV vaccine.

My doctor saw I had a hiatal hernia in the upper GI X-ray and I have really bad GERD symptoms but he refuses to prescribe me any medication without doing an endoscopy. I really dont want to get that test done- what meds do you recommend?
