Cam I Take Nexium For Hiatal Hernia As Shown On Endoscopy?
had a upper endoscopy done with diagnois of hiatal hernia. Had a severe attack yesterday of stomach pain like being punched in my stomach. Unrelenting! Taste of rotten eggs when burping. Lasted for about 12 hours. Took another nexium (I'm on 1 40mg day). Eased the pain so I could breath and finally sleep. Regurgitated bile later. This morning pain is tolerable but in upper gut and under rib cage.
