A member asked:
Can excess stool burden and overeating day before endoscopy cause a false positive hiatal hernia to be seen during endoscopy? is there anything more accurate than endoscopy for diagnosing hiatal hernia?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Hiatal hernia is not something to fear; however it is important to have good gut health. Healthy nutrition with adequate fluid intake and exercise could reduce the pressure that may be pushing stomach into the chest. Appropriate exercises should help including symptom improvement.
