Hi,I am Dr. Shanthi.E (General & Family Physician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
Does Hiatal Hernia Lead To Severe Stomach Pain Accompanied With Belching?
I have a hiatal hernia for over 30 years. In the last couple months I get severe pain in the stomach area that stabs to my back and my jaw. I also have lots of belching with it. It take over an hour for it to go away. I do take aciphex and the last 2 times I had this I doubled up the dosage. Do you think this is from the hernia? I also had my gallbladder out a few years ago with no problems since then.
A hiatal hernia can cause severe acid reflux and belching. As a first line management, you can take antacids like Omeprazole or Pantoprazole for symptomatic relief.
