Hello, Hiatus hernia is caused when the esophageal hiatus ( opening in the diaphragm ) becomes lax and enlarged resulting in pushing of some part of stomach through the opening. This generally occurs in obesity,pregnancy,repeated strain like coughing or lifting heavy weights. But local injury can also result in hiatus hernia. Your car accident could be a cause of hiatus hernia in you. Thanks
