When does a sliding hiatal hernia need treatment?

Most people are unaware of their sliding hiatal hernias but those who experience a lot of pain or discomfort may benefit from treatment.

Treatment would initially be tablets or liquid to block the acid that causes the discomfort from hiatus hernias. Sleeping with several pillows instead of one can also help.

If the medical approach doesn’t give sufficient relief then surgery is an option but this is usually only performed in the worst cases.
