My 87 Year Old Mother Belches Constantly. She Pats Her

My 87 year old mother belches constantly. She pats her stomach and has a series of small burps. The timing is random and this has persisted for over a year. Her old doc ignored it when we were concerned, but her new doc says she suspects a hiatal hernia and has prescribed antacid. Does this sound reasonable. It gives her great discomfort.
