A member asked:
Gastroesophageal reflux, occasional difficulty swallowing & heavy chest with short breaths. then came insomnia -early mornings. is this hiatal hernia?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Very well could be: Is the insomnia and early morning awakenings coming from sharp earaches by any chance? You will need a good examination by your physician who will decide whether or not an endoscopy or other procedure are merited to find out what's up.
