Psychiatrist 's  Response
Hi,
Thanks for writing in to us.

I am sorry to hear that you are in severe pain due to a small hiatus hernia.

There are two main types of hiatus hernia:

1. Sliding hiatus hernias - Hernias that move up and down, in and out of the chest area. Over 80% of hiatus hernias are this type.
2. Para-oesophageal hiatus hernias - Where part of the stomach pushes up through the hole in the diaphragm next to the oesophagus. They're sometimes called rolling hiatus hernias. About 5-15% of hiatus hernias are this type

The type of hiatus hernia can usually be diagnosed using an X-ray or an endoscopy (where a long, tube-like viewing instrument that contains a video camera and light source) is used.

Treatment for sliding hiatus hernia usually focuses on relieving the symptoms of GORD, such as heartburn.

Lifestyle changes and medication are the preferred treatments. Surgery is usually only recommended as an alternative to long-term medication or if other treatments haven't worked.

Lifestyle advice may include:

•eat smaller, more frequent meals - rather than three large meals a day
•avoid lying down (including going to bed) for three hours after eating or drinking
•remove any foods or drinks from your diet that make your symptoms worse
If a hiatus hernia isn't causing any noticeable problems, then it doesn't usually need to be treated.

Para-oesophageal hiatus hernias are repaired surgically if there is a risk of serious complications

Hope this helps

Homeopath Dr. C. J. Varghese's  Response
Hello friend,
Thank you for the query through HCM.
I can understand your situation. But I did not understand the psychological conflict that you are suffering from. As a Homoeopath I can say that all the problems in your stomach preceded by such a shocking incident. When you feel something undigested in your stomach, take it from me something is in your mind that is not digested or digestible for you.
Finding the root of diseases in the particular organ, in your case your stomach is not the right thing. The particular organ selected for your suffering is done by the brain and the brain is controlled or regulated by the mind.
In short what you need is a Homoeopathic treatment. I do not know whether there is Homoeopathic practitioners in your availability. If there are, approach an expert Homoeopath with your problems.
If not, I can help you provided you are interested in total cure through the genetic and constitutional approach of Homoeopathy. Homoeopathic remedies are safe and simple.
You may please get back to me with details. Homoeopathy does not treat Hiatus Hernia but YOU and YOU only. Once you are cured, all your ailments will be cured.
Best wishes,
Dr. C. J. Varghese
Homoeopath
