Trying hiatal hernia self-adjustment techniques and i've found a very sore spot 1inch above my navel with heavy pulse that causes burps when pressed.

Problem: Hiatal hernias involved the stomach & its (partial/) movement above the diaphraghm. It tends to cause upper abd pain. A fixed spot, in proximity to navel, suggests other type of hernia or other issue present. Should be evaluated by dr.

Hiatal hernia: A pulsatile mass above the umbilicus is probably your aorta. It can be an aneurysm as well. I'm not sure why it would cause you to burp when pressed though, unless you were pressing on your stomach which overlies the aorta.
