Hello

I'm after some advice please.

I have been diagnosed with a hiatus hernia, lax oesophageal sphincter (Upper stomach sphincter) and gastritis.

my question is really this...

How did everyone find the monitoring and how bad was it?

Myconsultant said that based on the findings he will operate.

I'm really hoping that the test is positive enough as I can't live with this pain much longer and the reflux.

It literally feels likje i'm having a heart attack sometimes.

I am in the uk

Thanks in advance

Linda

    Hi Linda

    I also have a hiatus hernia and am waiting for surgery. The manometry/PH tests are not too bad, once you get used to the tube. I was surprised that I managed to tolerate it ok!

    Best wishes

    Jill

    I just went through surgery for a paraesophageal hernia where my stomach slipped up in to my chest I was so sick before it I had this done I hope you fine an excellent dr  it took me about 6 wks to feel better but I would do it again in a heart beat but if you don't have the right dr you may have to redo it over and over you will feel so much better I thought I was dying my heart would race I felt like I had asthma well that's what the dr said which I didn't look for a good dr that's all I can tell you.  Hope you start to feel better
