I have acid reflux and its been about 2 months will this ever go away or will I have it forever?

I think that the acid reflux is caused by a hiatal hernia.
thanks for all the helpfull answers I went to the emergency room last night with really bad pains and they said that it looks like I have an ulcer. Are these are to get rid of? They also said I have to have a scope done. Is this painful what do they do.
