I have a hiatial hernia from a gastric bypass. i am going to see a doctor the end of march. can the hernia effect my breathing? i have to keep taking deep breaths
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes : A hiatal hernia is the stomach herniating through the diaphragm into the chest cavity. With noticeable breathing difficulty I would call the doctor and consider and ER visit . compromised breathing cannot wait until the end of March . Best Wishes
