should you be concerned? yes if you are not able to eat without vomiting. you should discuss this with the gi specialist and give your acid reflux treatment a specific timeline. there are many different treatments so perhaps you need a different medication or at some point consider surgery even if it appears to be small. i was digagnosed with hh 3 weeks ago. i have been having trouble swallowin vomiting ans burping for years. i had the endoscopy 3 weeks ago. i too have developed incresed symptoms after that procedure. constipation chestpain and unable to burp although i need to. great pressure builds up. i feel like there is something tied around my neck. i cannot eat meat or anything with real substance. just liquid and soft food like apple sauce. this is horrible. i also feel like my hh has gotten worse since my procedure. i have been in the er and once overnight because i vomited so many times that my blood pressure was all over the board and i was in intense pain (9/10). i have been vomiting way more than i did before the procedure even with omeprazole and otc antacids.
2wks ago a gi said i've a small hiatal hernia but i've vomited everytime i've eaten for 5mths. should i be concerned? . i've been vomiting after eating for over 5mnths. over the course of a day it's ranged from approx. a gallon to a liter. the gi did an upper endoscopy 2 weeks ago and said i have a small hiatal hernia. they said it is too small for surgery and said that once i get my acid reflux under control it would be easier to live with but as of late i've been felt random bouts of pain when i eat. i feel like someone is punching down right above my stomach. this wasn't happening before the endoscopy.
