I Have Terrible Heartburn And Always Constipated I Drink Lots

Brief Answer:
It can be a hiatal hernia
Detailed Answer:
Hi Mahurley,
I do not know what pethica is, but you could have a hiatal hernia, where your stomach herniates into your thorax. Completely benign. If medicine does not work, I suggest you stay away from alcohol, tobacco, smoked and spicy foods, avoid late meals and sleep with your head rest elevated.
Hope this helps. Please let me know if you have further questions.

Yes they told me I have a Hernia. The Dr told me Pethica {misspelled} They are red spots on my Cat Scan. Why do I need a endoscopy?
Brief Answer:
Possibly to assess if you have inflammation
Detailed Answer:
Hi again Mahurley2000,
The endoscopy is possibly to examine if you have inflammation in your esophagus, as this may guide treatment. It will also allow for a better determination of the hernia, so that the right treatment course can be planned.
Hope this helps, feel free to contact me again if you have any questions.
