Is It Due To Gerd There Is Erosive Esophagus And Bleeding?

I am a 34 year old white male. Im 6'4 230 lbs. On august 1st of this year I had a nissen redo due to acid reflux. Beacuse of the GERD I had erosive esophagus and bleeding. Since the surgery I gag more frequent then before and I also have the feeling of having to always bare down. When I stand I get very light headed and nausous. I am concerned that having the second nissen may have caused some damage to my vagus nerve ( found similar symptoms through my own research ). Or could this be because of some other cause? I am desperate here. I cant sleep because of the constint baring down at night and working is almost impossible ( due to the standing for long periods of time ).

Hi Dear !! Thanks for your query to HCM .
Read and reviewed your query and health concerns.
IN the given situation, You seems to suffer from-Bloated abdomen with Second redo, causing more gagging from intestinal ileus some times.This could happen from tight redo, not allowing burping of gases, leading to bloating and increased acidity, which leads to increased gagging.
Reducing acidity and giving liquid diets to reduce the ileus, from solid food indigestions, and gradual upgradation of diet from liquid porridges to full solid diet-over a time would resolve this -issue of gagging/ bloating after redo and is a result of mismatched diet ingested causing ileus and gauging.
USG study of abdomen and Relief with liquid diet and proton pump inhibitors would confirm the above problem.
GERD is known to cause erosive gastritis and bleeding from severe esophagitis.But the Redo-is known to cause more gag with bloating either from tightened fundoplication, for which gradual and slow change over from liquid diet to semisolid to solid diet would be needed in your case.

Hope this would help you to plan further of this complex illness of yours.
