There is if u have a hernia, and some can have adverse results from the surgery...so it is only a last resort as with ne surgery.
Have u been to a GI dr?
The best thing u can do to help control acid reflux if that is indeed ur issue, avoid food, drink and life style activities that will add to the problems.
AND...avoid stress and worry as it will make u feel worse.
The best thing u can do besides trying to relax is see a dr.

i had hernia when i was just a kid, but i dont think i have one now, i dont know the symptons of hernia to be honest. its hard to me to make myself think everything is ok, i get stomach pain kinda below the chest so i worry about it, i havetn slept for the [ast 24hrs every night i keep sweating and wake up and scared out of my mind. i just tought there was some type of surgery for acid reflux
Well, u must keep telling urself it is normal and u r ok.....once u can convince urself u will begin to feel better about a lot of things.
I see u r looking for surgery on this condition....do u have a hiatal hernia?
Otherwise surgery can make this all worse...do not wish for that at all....I would suggest u try to talk this thru...even to ur self....get a mantra...like...I am ok..and repeat it to urself even if u see blood...or need to vomit.
Good luck

noo i dont vomit blood. if i did, i probobly end up in a coma, but yes i think i do have axiety, if i throw up right before i feel like it i feel extreamly bad as if am sweating from 300 degree heat and after i do so throw up i pass out then i just feel depressed for a day. everyone tells me its ok to vomit but the way i picture it its as if i have the worst disease and people look at me as someone that needs to be hospitilazed
Well to vomit is the bodies way to rid it if a toxin....so u will not die if u vomit....it is a natural function, although not pleasant.
Do u mean u vomit when u see blood?....if so, again, that is a pretty natural thing...but, u can remind ur self when u feel like this...that blood is ok....u r ok.....try to relax.,
I really feel ur issue is more one of anxiety.Once u learn how to control that, u may not get sooooo anxious that u vomit.

well i do vomit sometimes, when am perfectly healthy, seems like the only thing i think about is not to vomit, then i get the feeling i do. im scared that if i do throw up and the next day and so on.... i will die or become really ill. and am scared on choking on my vomit and if blood be involved thats why when i do vomit, i freak out heavily that i pass out litterarly for as much as 30 seconds. i been to the ER the 3rd time when it happen, they didnt find anything.
Hi...do u know why u have this fear?...did someone say vomiting could be that detrimental to u?
Our bodies have many ways to eliminate waste and toxins from our bodies, vomiting is one way....and if we eat healthy, drink plenty of water...we help the natural process along.
Unless u vomit on a daily basis, to vomit when ill is not something u need to worry about...it is a natural remedy to rid the body of toxins.
Can u share what lies behind ur fear?
