Hi,
Surgery is the treatment for histus hernia.
For temporaily you can work out on life style modifications like reducing the weight, having little food at frequest intervals, minumum duration between your meals and sleep must be 2 hours, drinking good amount of fluids, keeping pillow bit high.
With this your symptoms will get reduced temporarily, but surgery is must. Kindly meet the surgeon.
Thank u
