Hello, I have just been diagnosed with a hiatus hernia and gastritis. I am only 18 years of age nearly 19. However my hiatus hernia has been causing me problems and my symptoms started happening over 4 years ago. However, only recently I have been having nose bleeds 5 -6 times a day and I do not know when they are coming on, it just happens. I was just wondering whether this can be connected? I am currently waiting to speak to my consultant about the forms of treatment but recently I also had a Quincy and was hospitalised due to not being able to breath and told I could have suffocated in my sleep, so I will be having my tonsils out on second, although since having the Quincy it has just one of my tonsil very enlarged and caused me some difficulty when eating and drinking, I m just wondering if this is normal? Many thanks.
