For Hiatal Hernia "This medicine was given to me after being diagnosed with hiatal hernia and gastritis. After two tablets of ranitidine, I started to get stomach pain, reflux, gas, dizziness, a headache, and slight nausea. I have persevered for three days, but not sure I can go on like this. The medicine seems worse than the cure!"
