Have Hiatus Hernia, Painful, Have Dizziness, Weakness, Difficulty Swallowing. What Is It?

Hello, I have a hiatus hernia, I am 22 years old and I have had it for 6 years, recently it has been getting really painful, I have been to the doctors and they are finally looking into surgery, right now I am in a lot of pain and feeling quite sick and dizzy, I feel like food or something is stuck low down and swallowing is harder than normal. Any advise please?
Thanks, Christine

Hi ! The doctor has rightly advised you for surgery as you possibly have not got much relief with conservative management. However, for the time being to relieve the discomfort, your doctor may prescribe you a prokinetic drug along with a proton pump inhibitor, and some dietary restrictions which you have to adhere to.
Wishing you an early recovery.
