I have a hiatus hernia and it's causing a lot of acidity problems and mouth ulcers. Is there any medicine that can help or is surgery the only option? It's really uncomfortable and I'm not sure what to do about it.

Hiatus hernia with reflux and ulcers responds to PPIs (like omeprazole),prokinetics,and lifestyle changes.Surgery (e.g., fundoplication) is for severe or persistent symptoms.

View allI'm really struggling with IBS, and it's been about five years now. I had a colonoscopy three years ago, but it didn't show anything. I've tried Colospa and some other medications, but nothing seems to be helping. I have diarrhea and then normal stool, but it's happening like five to six times a day. Lately, I've been experiencing a burning sensation after using the bathroom, and it lasts for an hour or two. It's really concerning, and I'm not sure what to do. Any advice?
Given your symptoms:_ 1. _Episodic vertigo_: Your vertigo episodes last 3-4 seconds, triggered by changes in movement. 2. _Morning exacerbation_: Vertigo worsens in the morning, making it difficult to stand properly. _Consider the following:_ 1. _Benign Paroxysmal Positional Vertigo (BPPV)_: Your symptoms suggest BPPV, a common inner ear disorder. 2. _Inner ear problems_: Despite a normal CT scan, inner ear issues like labyrinthitis or vestibular neuritis might be contributing to your vertigo. 3. _Vitamin deficiencies_: Deficiencies in vitamins like B12 or vitamin D might exacerbate vertigo symptoms. _Current treatment:_ 1. _Vitcofol, Neurobian Forte, Stmetile, Verin 16_: These medications are often used to treat vertigo, but their effectiveness varies. _Recommended next steps:_ 1. _Consult an ENT specialist or a neurologist_: Seek a specialist's opinion to determine the underlying cause of your vertigo. 2. _Vestibular rehabilitation therapy (VRT)_: VRT can help improve balance and reduce vertigo symptoms. 3. _Consider canalith repositioning procedure (CRP)_: If diagnosed with BPPV, CRP can help alleviate symptoms.

I'm really struggling with this awful stomach pain and constant bloating. I was taking Digene and Rablet, and it worked for a bit, but then it just stopped being effective. Now I'm on Rablet IT and Asthymin, but there's still no relief. What's weird is that when I'm asleep, I don't have gas issues, but as soon as I wake up, it all starts again, and my whole stomach hurts. Drinking cold milk seems to help temporarily, but nothing else seems to work. What could be causing this, and is there anything else I should try?

I've been having this annoying pain in my food pipe whenever I swallow food, and I've noticed a mild chest pain every time I eat. It's also like there's this burning heat in my stomach, especially when I have tea or coffee. What could be causing this? Should I be worried?
You may be experiencing symptoms of acid reflux or gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD). I would recommend trying antacids like Gelusil, Digene, or Pudin Hara for relief from the heat and discomfort in your stomach. Additionally, you can consider taking medications like Pantocid or Omeprazole to reduce stomach acid production and alleviate chest pain while eating. It is important to avoid trigger foods like tea or coffee that can worsen your symptoms.
