I don't know if you: could feel a hiatal hernia partly because the anatomy might not make it possible and partly because you might not know what you're feeling.. But if you have tenderness under your left rib and trouble swallowing, that's reason enough to get it checked out. Best wishes. Dr. Anne

Could very well be.: -Also reflux & esophageal information can cause this. A gastric ulcer is also possible. My advice is to make an appointment to see a gastroenterologist for evaluation. All of these are treatable.

NO: Hiatal hernia is internal and not what your describe See your MD for diagnosis
