hi,
thank you for providing the brief history of you.
As mentioned by you in your history, i will advice a thorough assessment of your symptoms. Having knowledge about the hernia is required.
Any time an internal body part pushes into an area where it doesn't belong, it's called a hernia. The hiatus is an opening in the diaphragm -- the muscular wall separating the chest cavity from the abdomen. Normally, the esophagus (food pipe) goes through the hiatus and attaches to the stomach. In a hiatal hernia (also called hiatus hernia) the stomach bulges up into the chest through that opening. There are two main types of hiatal hernias:
1. sliding and
2. paraesophageal (next to the esophagus).
Now the type of hernia needs a diagnosis first. Also based on it the causes the treatment can be commenced.
I wish you a good health.
Regards
Jay Indravadan Patel
