Hello sir/madam, I have a small hiatus hernia and I experience heart aches and stomach problems mostly. I have been prescribed esomeprazole and sucral syrup for a month and I'm having it for 2 weeks now. I have also been diagnosed with hypothyroidism which I have a value of 18.00 tsh and I'm having thyrox50 pills as well for the last two weeks. Can the thyroid be cured completely. Will he chest pain remain life long? Can you please help me.

Hypothyroidism is being controlled by medications like the one you are using. Hiatus hernia causes acid reflux and chronic reflux not only increases morbidity in terms of chest pain and burning but also can cause changes in food pipe lining called Barrets esophagus which is bad. Hence it is advisable to operate for hiatus hernia. I do lapaeoscopic surgery with 1to2 days hospital stay. Very minimal pain and complete cure.
