Hello
Thanks for your query.
Just like GERD, the symptoms of histus hernia will come and go with medications only. What you really need to cure the disease is surgery in the form of repair of the hernia because that can only give you the only cure for the disease though the success rate of the surgery may vary from patient to patient. Ideally you should consult a cardio-thoracic surgeon and should discuss the probable benefit from the surgery. Meanwhile you should continue to take the medications which you are currently receiving.
Thank you.
