What Causes Pain Around Chest Area While Having Hiatus Hernia?
I wonder if you can help, I seemed to be in a lot of pain in my chest, around the breadwinner (just under), the pain came on around mid afternoon today, it s been pretty acute, very uncomfortable, seem to have a lot wind (belching). I ve been diagnosed with a hiatus hernia, could it just be that playing up or something else, if it is hernia this is the worst it s been., is there anything I can do, take to help relieve the pain, also I m feeling nauseous.
-Hi and welcome to HCM. Thank you for your querry. All this is caused by high acid secretion which is found in gastritis, GERD or hiatus hernia. These disorders can cause such difficulties and you should do gastroscopy to evaluate this. Symptoms that are experienced in such conditions are pain and tightness in upper stomach, bloating, breathing difficulties, heartburn, feeling of lump and sore in throat, gurgling sound in throat, fatigue and loss of appetite. Symptoms are aggravated after meal, long sitting, leaning forward, stress and anxiety. In the beginning this is treated by changing dietary habits.
