Symptoms?: Many people have a hiatal hernia (the opening in the diaphragm for the esophagus is too big) but no symptoms. These people need no treatment. The most common problem is reflux which is effectively treated with acid blocking medications in most patients. If the reflux is severe and not helped with medciations then the hernia should be repaired with an antireflux operation.

Very treatable: You have a hiatal hernia. You are 19. This is a very treatable abnormality. Your doctor will treat your symptoms and follow with you. If you are feeling well with medications then he/she will follow. As you age you may require more intervention. You may need a diagnostic study. You will need to manage your weight and to exercise. Watch what you eat. Be well.
