Dr. Peter Lydon answered

Specializes in General Surgery

Not likely: most hiatal hernias and umbilical hernias do not cause any symptoms. There are some types of hiatal hernias that can cause symptoms and may require treatment. You should discuss this with your doctor and may need an upper endoscopy.
