Small hiatus is nothing to be worried about. Just avoid spicy fatty meals and late night meals to prevent reflux of acid. Lifestyle modifications.

These are mostly done by Medical Gastroenterologists. If the diagnosis is confirmed then the cause (Hiatus hernia) can be repaired with surgery which is done Laparoscopic or robotically.
