Please tell me the difference between symptoms of hiatus hernia & gallstone pain?
2 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Right upper quadrant: Hh usually does not lead to pain, predominant symptom is reflux. Biliary colic, gallbladder pain, usually happens after eating, can be sharp in the right upper abdomen and can cause back pain. Usually described as worse than child birth.

Difference is...: That only large hiatal hernias (paraesophageal type) cause problems, typically difficulty eating, feeling full fast, and occasionally chest pain that mimicks a heart attack. Gallbladder pain typically manifests just under the bottom of the breast bone and under right ribs in the front, radiating to the back. Not everyone is typical, and your should see doctor to help sort it out.
