I am sorry to hear about your concern but will be happy to assist you. A hiatal hernia can also put undue pressure on your stomach, by squeezing or twisting it. This pressure can make your stomach retain acid, which can then flow up into your esophagus. You could develop chest pain, gastroesophageal reflux disease, and/or heartburn, and have trouble swallowing or even breathing. Let's connect over a call so that we can discuss your concern in details and make a suitable treatment plan for you.
