I found out i have hiatal hernia. what does it do to your body, what to do?

Depends: Small hiatal hernias are nothing to weepy about, and can be associated with reflux disease, but not necessarily in a cause-effect relationship. Large hernias, also known as paraesophageal hernias, can pose problems with swallowing, bleeding and chest pain. If the hernia is large, consider a consult with an experienced laparoscopic surgeon (general or thoracic). Hope this helps!
