General & Family Physician 's  Response
Hi welcome to the health care magic

You have been prescribed anticholinergic drug that will lead decreased bowel movements and decrease acid secretion

So given for ulcer, acidity like gastric condition

Here you have not mentioned which site hernia present

It might be Hiatus hernia as per your history

If it is inguinal hernia than surgical correction needed

For Hiatus hernia if present omeprazole capsule will be useful

Consult gastroenterologist for your condition

Take care
