Pain: Hiatal hernias that are symptomatic are symptomatic because of obstructive problems. If your are overweight weight loss can be of help.

Chest pain: When a hiatal hernia causes severe,persistent chest discomfort it's usually because it is large and protrudes into the chest where it becomes trapped. If you're reasonably certain that this is a possibility in your case and because you experience severe pain, head to the hospital emergency room where prompt evaluation and attention can be found and proper specialists can be called in when needed.
