A member asked:
Will the hiatus hernia cause your stomach to bulge out.?

No: The only symptom one generally gets if at all, is heartburn. A ventral hernia could cause your stomach to bulge out, among other things.

Unlikely: A hiatal hernia is an enlarged, natural opening in the diaphragm through which the stomach can migrate into the chest cavity. This is not something you would see on your abdominal wall. Bloating however can be associated with a hiatal hernia, and and can cause generalized abdominal distention.
