Hello and welcome to Healthcamagic.
Yes,hiatal hernia may cause such pain and usually is. However,strangulation would be felt as sudden,severe pain with vomiting and nausea and you would not be able to stand up. So I doubt this is in your case. just have easier food and take antiacid medicines till surgery.
I hope I have answered your query. I wish you a nice day.
