Overview

In most cases, Most of the time patients experience no discomfort and no treatment is required. However, when a hiatal hernia is large, it is likely to cause esophageal stricture which results in discomfort. Symptomatic patients benefit from not lying down immediately after meals and also benefit by elevating the head of their beds. If stress has been idetified as the major riskfactor, stress reduction techniques may be practiced, or if overweight, weight loss may be indicated. Certain medications causes lower esophageal sphincter (or LES to relax those medications should be avoided. Anti-acid drugs like proton pump inhibitors and H2 receptor blockers can be used to decrease the acid secretion.
