Hello, I recoomend that you see Dr. Rabkin for evaluation. You may have a recurrent hiatal hernia that may need to be repaired. Alternatively, other surgical options may ned to be entertained. Being on PPI and muscle relaxants are not long term solutions.

Several years later, his brother, John, did a Hiatal Hernia Repair. Since 2001, I have NEVER been able to go off of PPIs as if I do my Acid Reflux is so bad that I am unable to keep down food and liquids. I just went through more testing and found out that I still have a Hiatal Hernia. One of the odd symptoms are very painful and very loud Hiccups. My GIs solution to this is to keep me o PPIs and now has added in Muscle Relaxes to relax my Esophagus. They do help but it is not curing the problem. Any suggestions are warmly welcome, Gail Pruitt
