Hiatal Hernia. What helps?

I've dealt with these problems since 40s - GERD then a small HH. Famotidine worked for a long time until I got the HH. Now I take 20 - 40 protonix daily. I do watch what I eat and try to eat slower by really chewing my food. I do sleep on a incline. However I have trouble when I wear a bra. Has anyone found a good solution to this?

I was diagnosed with a small HH and GERD last year by my ENT after having a Barium swallow procedure. He had prescribed a daily dose of omeprazole along with a strict acid reflux diet after I saw him for a sore throat, coughing, and hoarseness. I have had increasingly uncomfortable feelings (last 20 years) in my abdomen area at the bra line and sometimes radiating to my back making wearing a bra unbearable. I think the sensitivity/pressure in my abdomen area is my greatest concern. I have bought so many different bras trying to find one I can tolerate. I’m at a good weight and not heavy-breasted. I can understand your problem with abdominal pressure. Does anyone know if there are bras designed for this kind of discomfort?
