Diagonised With 3-4cms Hiatal Hernia

I am 24 years old, female living in the UK. I had an endoscopy yesterday as was diagnosed with 3-4cms Hiatal Hernia, Grade A Oesophagitis and Fundal Gastritis. I understand what a Hiatal Hernia is, but what do my other diagnosis mean and how bad is it? I am now waiting for a follow up appointment with the surgeon.

HI
Thank for asking to HCM
I really appreciate your concern, the history given here, first it is, Hiatal hernia, Gastritis, Esophagitis, as you said you knew about the Hiatal hernia for the Gastritis this is the inflammatory process of the stomach particularly inner wall, this could be either due to infection or due to hyper-acidity, this is also responsible for esophagitis, but this is not the big problem this can be get alright with proton pump inhibitor, hope this information helps you have nice day.
