Can a small hiatal hernia cause heart problem of any kind?

No, although: While a hernia cannot "cause" heart problems, it can sometimes feel like you are having heart problems when you experience the pain associated with some hiatal hernias. You may feel that burning pain in your chest or a tightness feeling, and that can be mistaken for cardiac symptoms. Talk with doc about which are which.

No: What is of importance is that symptoms that may suggest a hiatal hernia may be cardiac in origin. That is why it is important to receive a thorough history and physical examination by your primary care physician and decipher between the symptoms and the primary source. This may require some specific testing and trial of some medical therapy.

Would be unique: You could possess symptoms over middle trunk, which could mimic a cardiac pain pattern, but more likely a diagnosis of gerd might explain your issues.

No but...: Hiatal hernias do not cause heart problems; however, both can present with similar pain. It is very important to know which you are dealing with.
