What Causes Pain On The Upper Stomach With Hernia?
last nite i had alot of pain in the upper stomach area right under my breasts..it started to travel up to my mid chest with lite pain ...it lasted about 5minutes then started again for another couple minutes. I had this before but not as painful and that past incident traveled up to my right jaw and and ear so my heart dr. did tests including angiogram but didnt find anything. I don t have reflux...but I do have some nerve damage in my upper esophages that causes some trouble with swollowing and I have a very small hernia in my stomach. I am 66 yrs. old

Hello and Welcome
I appreciate your concern.
It seems to be a hiatal hernia
get a baseline ECG done first I would empirically recommend a two week
course of mebeverine, Esomeprazole and sucralfate to see for improvement, if
symptoms persist then a endoscopy and biopsy after barium studies may be indicated
done in consult with your doctor to rule
out other causes
Let me know if you have any query
wishing you best of health
Thanks
