What Causes Acid Reflux Along With Vomiting?

I have been having an acid stomach for a while. I was diagnosed with a sliding hiatal hernia a while back. last year my primary care Dr prescribed protonix. I throw up often, very often. Yesterday I noticed some red blood as I threw up. It was bright red and thread like. today, my stomach has not bothered me at all, no N/V, I feel fine. Should I be concerned

Hello,

Since you are having a hiatus hernia, this bright red colour is mostly due to blood in vomiting.

A hiatus hernia causes GERD (gastroesophageal reflux disease). So you need to consult a gastroenterologist and get done upper GI (gastrointestinal) scopy to rule out bleeding gastric ulcer.

Start pantoprazole and Levosulpiride combination on empty stomach twice daily. Avoid oily and spicy food. Avoid junk food.

Avoid large meals, instead, take frequent small meals. Avoid stress and tension, be relax and calm. Take 2-3 pillows under the head in bed to prevent reflux. Don't worry, you will be alright with all these.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Take care

Regards,
Dr Kaushal Bhavsar, Pulmonologist
