A member asked:
I went to the doctor today and the doctor pressed hard on my stomach right bellow my sternum. can that amount of force push my hiatal hernia. because now i have a strange feelings where my doctor pressed?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No, it should not. That area (epigastric by medical term) is quite sensitive so no patient can tolerate a strong push which can generate enough pressure to create a hiatal hernia. Your strange feeling, if from that palpation, should go away soon.
