Thanks for your question on Healthcare Magic.
I can understand your concern.
In my opinion, chances of these symptoms due to past Nissan fundoplication are very less.
But better to get done upper GI (gastrointestinal) scopy to rule out this possibility.
If this is normal then no need to worry much.
Sometimes stress and anxiety can also cause similar kind of symptoms.
So better to take him to psychiatrist and get done counselling sessions.
Try to identify stressor in his life and start working on it's solution.
He may need anxiolytic drugs too.
Don't worry, he will be alright.
Previous surgery (Nissan fundoplication) is unlikely to acute these sudden symptoms after 18 years.
Hope I have solved your query .I will be happy to help you further. Wishing good health to your son. Thanks.
