A member asked:
I feel dizzy and lightheaded due to my hiatal hernia compressing my lungs (diagnosed). is there a way to alleviate the situation before surgery?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Are you sure: I would get a good medical check up before concluding the dizziness and being lightheaded is coming from a hiatal hernia, no matter no matter how large. It is a little unusual for those two to be related. You would want to make sure things like your blood pressure and heart rate is ok. Discuss with your medical doctor.
