I have a hernia or a rip between my upper ribs and if I move certain ways my insides push out of it and cause major pain and discomfort in breathing. It's rift where my heart is and I'm scared my heart will push out. No dr I talk to seems concerned but I know how hurtful and scary it is for me. What should I do

Hi Dear,

Welcome to HCM.

Understanding your concern. As per your query you have hernia near the ribs. Well there can be many reasons for symptoms you mention in query like hiatal hernia . Usually bacflow of stomach content occur in case of hiatal hernia that is acid reflux . I would suggest you to consult gastroenterologist for proper examination . Doctor may order esophagram , endoscopy , manometry along with taking history . Doctor may prescribe H2 blockers , proton pump inhibitor and may recommend surgery for repair hernia . For now eat light and non spicy , take small and frequent meal and keep your head elevated while sleeping .

Hope your concern has been resolved.
