I have been trying to find someone else in
the forum that has a Hiatus Hernia, I'm
begining to wonder if I am the only one
suffering from this problem, if so please
give me your secret. I have had a hiatus
hernia for about 3 years now, I don't have
so much gerd or acid reflux, but what
happens is when I eat mainly my dinner,
the food seems to get stuck in my chest
area and won't go any further, I can't
even get water to go down. The pain goes
into my chest, my shoulder and into my
back. The only way I can get any relief
is to make myself vomit, it sometimes
takes a few times but once it has cleared,
it is ok and no more pain. There has to
be something to help with this, surgery
has been mentioned, but even the surgeon
says it is only good for 3-4 yrs.and it
happens all over again, and none of the
meds. help.
Could someone please help, the pain is
so bad, I sometimes think I am having a
heart attack.
Did doctors tell you which type of hiatus
hernia you have?
Do you have any other stomach disorders
like gastritis, peptic ulcer or else?
Are you overweight?
Do you often lift heavy things?
Are you often constipated or coughing?
