How To Treat Hiatal Hernia, Vomiting On Eating/ Drinking After Flu And Respiratory Problem In A 29 Yo Male?
Hello, Weight loss of 32 pounds is not normal and must be evaluated as hiatus hernia will not cause such extent issue. Additional workup with blood tests to rule out post bacterial or viral infection changes in the WBC series is requested here. Primary care with antiemetic as ondansetron or ramosetron and PPI as omeprazole as else will help the best way. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
