How to stop coughing with hiatus hernia

Posted , 4 users are following.

I have been diagnosed with hiatus hernia and I take omeprazole but I still have coughing fits and because I cough I sometimes wet myself. I have been referred to gastroenterology department but wonder if it is worth me going. 

All I want is help in stopping the coughing and wetting myself. I wonder if anybody else has or had this problem and give me some advice please

    I would check with the GI doc because it could be your PPI isn't strong enough to keep the acid down. Also, I would try not laying down for quite awhile after eating or drinking. That may help. Best wishes.
