Ask for a referral for pelvic floor PT to help strengthen the diaphram through certain breathing exercises, as well as other exercises, Read the article on consumer lab.com re all the functions of melatonin. google every food , spice, herb, tea etc before eating as ask if it is OK with weak LES. I know it is frustrating, medicine doesn’t have a lot of needed answers, but there are great studies on NIH to discuss with your doctor.
Welcome to Mayo Clinic Connect, @martinmaloc. Having a headache after eating following your Nissen fundoplication for the hiatal hernia sounds really difficult. I've had some of that "paying for eating" effect for a totally different reason: with taking semaglutide (Wegovy) and now tirzepatide (Zepbound). I don't experience a headache but a variety of gastrointestinal symptoms that can be pretty intense.
Tagging members who've mentioned hiatal hernia and Nissen fundoplication to see if they have had severe headache or migraine post-eating or have some ideas or tips for you @faithincrisis @shiggins1227 @marianna1968jt @natefish @cblue @faithann64 @delrenleo @diamae. I'd also like you to meet @hopeful33250.
Will you share more about how the lactose intolerance pills and the walk for about 5 minutes after eating help with the head pain or other symptoms?
