Can a hiatal hernia cause uou to throw up in your mouth?
8 doctors weighed in across 3 answers
Possibly: A hiatal hernia is what happens when the opening of the diaphragm that allows the esophagus to pass through from the chest to the abdomen is too large and allows the top part of the stomach to slide up into the chest. It distorts the shape of the natural anti-reflux valve and causes reflux, gerd, trouble swallowing, and even regurgitation like you are describing. It should be fixed with surgery.

Yes: A hiatal hernia can make symptoms of gastric reflux worse and sometimes cause you to regurgitate (throw up in your mouth).

Yes: Reflux of gastric acid and contents secondary to a hiatal hernia can occasionally reach all the way up to the top of the throat and mouth, even into the sinuses. This regurgitation of gastric contents is one of the more distressing symptoms associated with hiatal hernia / gastroesophageal reflux disease.
