unlikely: Most of the times hernia (s ) will not cause any symptoms except occasional pain , but when it gets incarcerated is an emergency , will have severe pain , can not be pushed inside requiring emergency surgery.

Not directly: The hernia defects present in these areas can contain bowel, but it is part of the "lower" GI tract, and shouldn't have anything to do with nausea or heartburn, symptoms many also call "indigestion". Pain from the hernias can indirectly cause these problems. Hope this helps!
