Hi XXXXXXX

Thanks for writing in

With the limited information that you have provided it is evident that the bleeding is probably because of Hiatus hernia

If there is oesophagitis and / or ulcer it will cause bad bleeding

Here are few tips for GERD Care :

1] Avoid spicy, fermented meals
2] Do not have heavy meals
3] Avoid smoking and alcohol
4] Wear loose clothes
5] Do not stoop
6] Do not lift heavy weights
7] Raise the head end of your bed
8] If Obese lose weight
9] If under stress - Manage stress levels by meditation and exercise

Add a proton pump inhibitor twice a day, Liquid Sucralfate 2tsf every four hours

If the bleeding continues you should see the emergency doctor
Hope this helps
