A member asked:

I have a hiatus hernia after i eat palpitations feeling unwell and fall in to a deep sleep have been told dumping syndrome. is surgery the only option?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Not dumping: It's not dumping syndrome if your stomach is still intact, and hiatal hernias do not cause that syndrome. A large hiatal her is. Also called a paraesophageal hernia may be responsible for some of those symptoms. This is usually diagnosed with upper GI contrast study and upper endoscopy.
