Has anyone ever had a hiatal hernia? - can a hiatal hernia rupture
I think that is what I have, but I'm not positive. I had breathing difficulties and stomach pain that increases as spicy foods, chocolate, tomatoes and oranges. My doctor told me I could have a stomach ulcer or gastritis, but my grandmother said there could be a hiatal hernia. Has anyone ever been in, and I can tell you what can I do?

Can A Hiatal Hernia Rupture Has Anyone Ever Had A Hiatal Hernia?

If I were you, I get a referral to a gastroenterologist to. You can you diagnose shortly. Here's how it is diagnosed each.
Hiatal hernia is diagnosed when an x-ray or endoscopy gastrointestinal tract is higher in the tests to determine the cause of gastrointestinal symptoms such as pain in the upper abdomen. Both X-ray and endoscopy, hiatal hernia as a "pocket" between what is clearly the esophagus and what is clearly presented to the stomach. This bag is from the lower esophageal sphincter bounded above and below the diaphragm. Herniation may be for the swallows, however, visible.
To diagnose an ulcer too, your doctor will have undergone one of the following tests:
An upper GI - a series of photos that are aClose to drink a substance called barium.
Gastroscopy (EGD) - special examination by a gastroenterologist in which a thin tube is inserted through the mouth into the gastrointestinal tract, into your stomach and intestines conducted glance
The symptoms of stomach ulcers:
A burning pains in the gut is the most common symptom. Pain
feels like a dull pain
back and forth for a few days or weeks
starts 2 to 3 hours after a meal
comes in the middle of the night when the stomach is empty
generally disappears after meals
Other symptoms include
Lose weight
We did not want to eat
Pain when eating
Stomach Problems
Vomiting
The symptoms of hiatal hernia:
Acid
Belching
Nausea
* If more complicated, the symptoms are similar to May reflux or GERD
The symptoms are similar, both see a gastroenterologist and get tested to get the correct diagnosis. Hope this helps!
This seems sure how you can have one, I'm sorry to say.
Hiatal hernia can take different forms, but generally understood, if the stomach protrudes into the membrane. This can cause food to stick on the hernia, are difficulty swallowing, respiratory problems and acid reflux.
Unfortunately, your options if you have a hiatal hernia are:
a) learn to live with him, or
b) surgery.
If this is not serious, your doctor will tell you that learning to live with him, mainly by changing your diet and sleep position, sometimes the prescription of drugs to reduce the acidity. If it's too bad that it can be corrected by laparoscopic surgery with a procedure that only small incisions. Basically, pUll belly down into position and tighten the area of diaphragmatic hernia with a few stitches.
I had a hiatal hernia surgically corrected in other abdominal surgery. It was a great success. He felt pain for several months (oddly, injured), his left shoulder, and I still occasionally still rather randomly have hiccups, but otherwise is perfect.
I suggest you seek a second opinion. You can ask your doctor to check a barium meal or endoscopy, to see if you really have a hiatal hernia or not.
