Pulmonologist,  's  Response
Hello,

Since he is suffering from a hiatus hernia his persistent vomiting is mostly due to a hiatus hernia or other abdominal causes.

Mild COPD is unlikely to cause persistent vomiting. So better to consult a gastroenterologist and get done ultrasound examination of the abdomen and upper GI (gastrointestinal) scopy.

He should start antiemetic drug like domperidone or ondansetron. Don't worry, he will be alright.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Take care
