What Causes Severe Indigestion While Having Hernia In The Lower Abdomen?

My husband was in hospital last night. he is having severe problems with his breathing.. getting air through his nose and mouth. He then goes into a panic. They did a lung xray and it was fine. They did an echocardiogram and stress test and said his heart was fine. they did tell him he had a hernia at the end of his esophagus. Could this be the cause of this shortness of breath. he can t even walk to the bathroom bc he cannot get enough air. He has been wearing the nasal strips for sometime now thinking that might help and his heartburn/indigestion has gotten so much worse in the last 3 mths. He is constantly taking zantac
