My wife has had a hiatal hernia. it now looks larger than a golf ball sticking out of her stomach. she's been short of breath, nauseated and bloated. what should i do?

Need evaluation: If the hiatal hernia is causing severe reflux and aspiration surgical intervention and enteral feeding may required see your g.I asap.

Cannot see: A hiatal hernia on the outside of a person. A hiatal hernia is deep inside where the stomach goes into the chest. If you see a hernia bulge on the outside it could be an umbilical or ingunai (groin) hernia, or hernia in a scar from past surgery. If you see a hernia bulge & it is hard & tender, then see a doctor asap.
