A member asked:

Can sliding hiatal hernias get strangulated? what are the symptoms?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Yes and a portion of the stomach ends up in your chest cavity which causes chest or abdominal pain, regurgitation, acid reflux,shortness of breath,vomiting. After advanced and prolonged incarceration, strangulation or damage of stomach tissue occurs due to loss of circulation--- a true emergency requiring a thoracic surgeon's expertise..
