A member asked:

I have a sliding hiatal hernia. as of late 10-15 minutes after eating i experience extreme pain in my upper stomach/diaphragm area. i thought this may be related to heart issues and took nitroglycerin. the pain subsided in 4 minutes.is this normal?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Nitro glycerin can resolve esophageal spasm- so it might have helped. I am glad you are OK. But pl ask your GI to prescribe something for such events.
