A : A small hiatal hernia can possibly cause a band-like pressure in the upper abdominal region, but is unlikely to do so. You're symptoms are complex in nature and close followup with an expert gastroenterologist is your best course of action. Your symptoms of fatigue and anxiety may have many causes and you will be best served by having an attentive primary care physician to help you identify the root cause(s) of your symptoms.
