Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
If the problem with the hiatal hernia is reflux symptoms, these can usually be managed by avoiding strong and spicy food, sleep with your head elevated, don't smoke, no meals immediately before sleeping, and avoidance of medication that can relax the esophageal sphincter (antihypertensive, nitro, etc.). If this does not help, proton pump inhibitors may be helpful, and as a last resort, surgery can be helpful.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
