A member asked:

Ive had stomach pain and tightness and nausea. is it from my hiatal hernia? down 55 pounds since diagnosed with the hernia

A doctor has provided 1 answer

See doctor: Any unintended weight loss should be evaluated by a doctor. Hiatal hernia, per se should not cause this much weight loss.
