Hi. Thanks for your query for your sister. She has continuous pain in the region of diaphragm, which increases if she tries to breathe or tries to swallow some food. There is also history of emotional stress, peptic ulcer, stapler in esophagus which had to be removed to improve the breathing, and it did. But the pan remained. This looks to be due to hiatus hernia with associated symptoms. I would advise you to undergo an upper GI Endoscopy to confirm the diagnosis, take a few months course and if this does not help, get ready for surgery as a permanent cure. Continue PPI or Sanitizing, antacid get, small frequent meals, soft bland diet, no anxiety or stress at all as it increases all the problems.
