Do you mean fullness or bloating? That will need a medication like itopride. As for the GERD, with hiatus hernia, this will need further tests in the form of 1. Manometry 2. 24 hour pH. If these show the severity then a surgery will be needed: the hiatus hernia which is the cause of GERD can be repaired laparoscopic or robotic way and that will give you long term relief.
