Hello.

Thank you for the query.

Hiatal hernia does not have to be the reason of your symptoms. Black stools usually indicate bleeding from upper part of digestive tract. Indigestion can have plenty of reasons but is not characteristic for hiatal hernia.
Such hernia can give no symptoms or cause chest burning, upper middle abdominal pain, nausea. If such symptoms are present abd the diet is good (no fatty foods, no spicy foods, no coffee, no alcohol, no chocolate) medicines (proton pump inhibitors) should be prescribed. If it wont help, surgery can be considered. Surgery can be permanent cure.

Hope this will help.
Regards
