Hiatal hernia
If I have gerd for 5 months and I think it's hiatal hernia but doctor says it can't be due to hiatal hernia. If it was because of hiatal hernia you would have weight loss but my weight is same.
So is it true ?

Hiatal hernia can be an incidental finding in many people. It may or may not be associated with GERD.
Please get thoroughly evaluated for your reflux. Treatment of hiatal hernia can be done along with surgical options for GERD, but only if necessary.
Next Steps
Endoscopy, pH monitoring and esophageal manometry must be performed. Meet a laparoscopic surgeon with these reports.
