Hiatal Hernia Symptoms

Upset stomach

Most Hiatal Hernia symptoms are caused by acid reflux---the flow of stomach acid into the esophagus.

  • Acid reflux---may be bad enough to cause a change of taste in your mouth

  • Heartburn---uncomfortable feeling of burning, warmth, heat, or pain behind the breastbone.
  • upset stomach

  • discomfort after eating

  • possible shortness of breath

  • reflux when bending over

  • GERD (gastroesophageal disease) ---basically means having reflux twice a week a more

  • Fullness in the upper belly after a meal

  • Difficulty swallowing or a sensation of a lump in the throat.

  • Regurgitation of stomach juices and nausea

  • Repeated coughing

  • A hoarse voice.
    •

    Symptoms of acid reflux may include:

  • Burning sensation behind breastbone that occurs after eating, soon after lying down, or when bending forward. This group of symptoms is commonly known as heartburn.

  • A sour or bitter taste in the mouth. The back flow of stomach acid and juices into the esophagus (known as acid reflux). This often occurs along with the symptoms of heartburn, but in some cases it may be your only symptom.

    Severe symptoms that are continual may be gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD). This is the abnormal back flow of food, stomach acid, and digestive juices into the esophagus.

    GERD lasts longer and occurs more often than ordinary heartburn. Long term GERD can cause complications such as ulcers, asthma or esophageal cancer.

    To distinguish between GERD and chest pain remember that the burning sensation caused by reflux usually occurs after eating. Pain from your heart is usually felt as pressure, heaviness, or a dull ache that occurs mostly after physical activity or exercise.

    True chest pain will not respond to indigestion remedies such as those listed on this site and would not be considered under hiatal hernia symptoms.

    If you have shortness of breath or pain in the area of your breastbone, particularly after physical exertion, check with your physician to make sure you are not developing a more severe condition.
