Hiatal Hernia quest

Hi All!
Yesterday I was diagnosed with Hiatal Hernia, Mild Gastritis and somehting with a D. Duodenitis I think. I am 27 with an active social life. Recently though, one sip of alcohol and I am sick for two days. I've been on every type of medication for acid reflux. Nothing is helping. Now even without drinking I am having bad chest pains and after I eat I form this lump in my throat. I feel like I am breathing fire all the time.
I am wondering if the surgery has done any good for anybody out there? And i know this is horrible, but will I be able to live my normal life again?
Thanks!

I am no doctor here


What you have to do is start writing down in a journal, what you are eating and drinking and what is upsetting you .. Worrying is a no no... If you do
