Difference between hiatus hernia and ulsar pain?

That's easy.....: The hiatAL hernia & the ulcer pain are in 2 different places altogether for starters. The hiatal hernia involves the uppermost part of the stomach and is associated with a lot of acid reflux in the esophagus. Ulcer pains are either in the body of the stomach (usually lower down) or in the duodenum. Pain associated there is usually sharp, intense, no associated too much with reflux but with meal

Diagnosis and: symptom. Hiatus hernia is diagnosed when part of the stomach slides into the chest. Ulcer pain is pain the abdomen, may be burning pain, due to ulcer in the stomach or duodenum.

Differences: Ulcers tend to cause pain in the upper stomach and is often described as burning,gnawing,or hunger-like,and sometimes can be crampy or vague.You can also have discomfort after eating with increased belching,early satiety,upper abdominal fullness,nausea,and sometimes vomiting.Type I hiatal hernia pain feels like reflux/heartburn.Larger hernias can cause nausea, retching, and fullness after eating

Differences: A hiatal hernia is an anatomic scenario where part of the stomach(usually just the upper part) protrudes through a weak part in the diaphragm(breathing muscle). This doesn't have to cause any symptoms or issues but can predispose people to acid reflux. Ulcer pain is quite variable from burning to aching in the epigastrium(stomach area) sometimes with nausea, bloating.
