Hello, I am 54 years old, I am a female. For the past several weeks, I am having a discomfort with my abdominal hernia, I ve had it for a very longtime, however, here recently, I am experiencing discomfort when I sleep at night, it feels as if something is burning, so I put a pillow under my abdomen so it won t pull down, I can t eat very much, because it get real hard and tight around the abdomen, sometimes I want to just bend over, because my abdomen feels as if is pulling down, what should I do besides going to the doctor?
