      Thanks Tammy for your reply.

      Today morning I saw kinda alot blood in my stool after finish my BM.. This is not first time but not more than 5 times in this half year. I not sure whats wrong with me... Done colonoscopy, found nth and normal; done endoscopy, found minor gastritis, hiatal hernia only. This make me more worry bout my sick...

      My doctor are specialist in physician and hypertension kidney, hepatobilary surgeon and gastroenterologists. Total 3 doctors.. only 2 doctors told me that I should do surgery repair my hiatal hernia, another 1 said not so serious. Now my physician give me try Dexilansoprazole medicine for 1 month see if this can help me control my heartburn and epigastric pain. A month later will go back check with physician and 3 months later will go back check with gastroenterologists... Hope everythings will be ok...
