A member asked:
Would a gastroenterologist know to look for a hiatal hernia without telling him you think you may have one ?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes but tell him: Your physician can always help you more if they know what your symptoms are. This can guide them to look for such a thing. You may not have a hiatal hernia but your symptoms may suggest something else to look else and that’s what your physician will be looking for
