Question 1

i'm age 31 & been having moderate to severe pain in center of chest & upper back that comes & goes. can my hiatal hernia cause this without heartburn?

Accepted Answer

Hiatus hernia: Yes it can be result of hiatus hernia, without heartburn.

Question 2

taking domperidone, nexium (esomeprazole) appx 8months getting severe pain knees/hips at nite 2-4 times per week also have hiatal hernia is meds causing this?

Accepted Answer

Malabsorption?: Those medicines could be causing you to have a malabsorption problem where the stomach is not absorbing the nutrients and minerals that it is supposed to. Check out "why stomach acid is good for you" by dr. Jonathan wright. Things like zinc, vit b12, and others may be deficient in you causing your muscles to ache.

Question 3

i had gastroschisis at birth, many intestinal blockage removals, and my hiatal hernia mesh causes severe pain 10 yrs later. vegan, uninsured. advice?

Accepted Answer

Gastroschisis: Complicated history. Are you sure you have mesh from a hiatal hernia repair? That's relatively rare. Not an umbilical hernia? Hard to say what the pain is from. Scar tissue vs obstruction vs mesh. If you are in KY i would see dr. Josh steiner.

Question 4

can you have severe diarhia with hiatal hernia?

Accepted Answer

No you do not: Hiatus hernia does not cause diarrhea.

Question 5

severe painin my diagram area, i have hiatal hernia.it feels like someone is stepping on my chest as well?

Accepted Answer

Check Diet.: Pain from a hiatal hernia usually is radiated to your shoulder.  If you have reflux after eating, I would suggest sitting up for about 4 hours after eating and I would avoid liquids prior to retiring for the evening.  You should look at avoiding spicy foods that may cause problems with digestion.  You should consider your bowel activity, primarily constipation.  Consult your primary care physician

Question 7

severe constipation is due to moderate hiatal hernia?

Accepted Answer

No: Not related, must be something else.

Question 8

can a hiatal hernia cause moderate to severe fatigue?

Accepted Answer

Unlikely: A hiatal hernia per se should not cause fatigue. It would be prudent to see a doctor.
Wish you good health! - Have a diet rich in fresh vegetables, fruits, whole grains, milk and milk products, nuts, beans, legumes, lentils and small amounts of lean meats. Avoid saturated fats. Drink enough water daily, so that your urine is mostly colorless. Exercise at least 150 minutes/week and increase the intensity of exercise gradually. Do not use tobacco, alcohol, weed or street drugs in any form. 
Practice safe sex, if you have sex.

Question 9

one week post bariatric sleeve, my hiatal hernia not corrected in surgery.   i didn't have pain, now 8 -9 scale it's severe.  is this normal recovery?

Accepted Answer

No: This is not normal.  You should see your doctor as soon as possible.  Hope this helps!

Question 10

is it possible to feel a hiatal hernia "pop"back into place?get severe cramping for days stretching helps little until "pop" feeling then temp relief.

Accepted Answer

Probably not.: Most sliding hiatal hernias would not give you that sensation. It would also not cause cramping pain normally. I would see your doctor and if your symptoms (heartburn or trouble swallowing) are severe, consider repair.
