Anyone had a hiatus hernia?

[Woodworks]

Been on treatment for 3 weeks now and no improvement yet. Is this something that goes away or I am stuck with it? I have been to the doctors but when asked about long term he was a bit vague to say the least.

Yes I have one but the op is a 8 week lay off from work

I've been on losec and lansoprazole for the past 6 yrs

Have tried to find out if its my diet ie gluten,spices,garlic etc but I'm sure smoking is a major factor

I could go on for hours about it sadly

 

Do you take medication for yours

Yes got given some Omeprazole. Felt great first week on it (was on holiday) but starting to wake up feeling a bit sick but it normally improves through the day. I can't say it's very bad just would feel better without it

Surgery - only way I reckon. Had non-keyhole (keyhole was not reccommended for inguinal hernias in 2007 anyway) with mesh implant. Loved the operation (best sleep I've ever had), hated the pain the next day, 6-8 weeks off indeed but all worth it.

I've had one for 18 years , never been offered any operation , just on omeprazol . Fine as long as I don't forget to take them !!

I don't know if your doc told you, probably not but its the sphincter muscle at the bottom of your oesophagus that stops working which allows to much acid into your throat.

 

Now it's the acid that can cause major problems as the lining of your throat is not designed to withstand the acid and this continual acid reflux can actually lead to barretts disease ie potential throat cancer so it's no laughing matter.

 

So I strongly suggest you seek the correct medication.

Many people mainly blokes suffer from acid reflux but its the serious cases that need the correct medication and as the doctors say its GERD gastro esophagus

Reflux DISEASE
