List of other diseases, conditions, or injuries and their treatment: acid reflux, hiatal hernia, pityriasis lichenoides, asthma



According to the data you provided, your acid reflux is due to the hiatal hernia. Drinking water when experiencing acid reflux can temporarily ease the symptoms, but for a constant solution to this problem the hiatal hernia should be treated. A physical problem like the hiatal hernia can not be solved with chemical solutions like water.
You might want to talk to an internist or abdominal surgeon about the hiatal hernia and its surgical removal.
