Question 1

I've been dealing with vomiting issues for the past 15 years where only fluids come out, not food. Even after getting fundoplication surgery based on doctor's advice, the problem hasn't gone away. It usually lasts for two days once it starts in the morning. What could be causing this and is there anything else I can try?

Accepted Answer

Gastroenterologist opinion is advised to the patient.

Question 2

I'm dealing with these hiccups that just don't seem to quit. It's been over 24 hours now. They pause for a bit and then come right back. Is this something I should be worried about? Might it be indicating some kind of serious issue?

Accepted Answer

See a specialist for accurate diagnosis and targeted treatment.

Question 3

I've been dealing with GERD for 4 years and my gastroscopy showed a 40cm hiatus hernia. I constantly feel nauseous with a lump in my throat, and my stress levels are through the roof. Would surgery actually fix my GERD issues? I'm really hesitant about getting that 24hr pH metry test it sounds like it would be awful to go through. How bad is it really?

Accepted Answer

U need a proper assessment by a surgeon,, of your symptoms clinically to establish volume reflux and Gerd.. Gastro scopy has told that you hav a hiatus Hernia.. There is no need of 24 hr pH metry if you symptoms match with your gastroscopy.. What you need is esophageal manometry... A small miniature tube... 1/10 of size of endoscopy tube... Which you already hav gone through.. That wil establish whether you require surgery called Lap fundoplication and how much you will benefit from it. normally.. Of my pts who hav underwent this surgery... Those who had volume reflux did the best from surgery.

I'm really worried because I've been feeling a lot of discomfort in my chest, especially at the back, and sometimes I even vomit blood. My appetite is almost gone, and there's this burning feeling in my chest and lower abdomen. What could be causing all this?
