An umbilical hernia is a section of intestinal tissue that bulges near the navel, where the umbilical cord is attached before birth. It is most common in middle-aged and elderly females, who experience intra-abdominal pressure from pregnancy or obesity due to defects in naturally weak areas. Hernias can cause gas and bloating by changing the arrangement and shape of the organs in the abdomen. They can potentially obstruct the gastrointestinal tract if a portion of the intestine or stomach pushes through a weakness in the abdominal. Depending on their location and severity, they can trigger various problems, including chronic indigestion, gastroesophageal reflux, and other crossover symptoms. Umbilical hernias can cause excessive belly fluid, chronic cough, difficulty urinating due to an enlarged prostate, and prolonged constipation. A case of gastric pneumatosis and pneumoperitoneum associated with a bowel obstruction secondary to an incarcerated umbilical hernia was reported in 2017. Periumbilical pain can also occur from an umbilical hernia, acute appendicitis, or a small bowel obstruction.

📹 Hiatal Hernia- Symptoms, Complications and Treatment
Were you recently diagnosed with a Hiatal Hernia? What are its symptoms, complications, and how should it be treated?
Can umbilical hernia cause gastric problems?
A hernia can cause gas and bloating by changing the arrangement and shape of the organs in your abdomen. This can trap gas in your gastrointestinal (GI) tract and increase gas pressure in your GI tract to uncomfortable levels.
Types of hernias that can cause gas and bloating include:
- Abdominal hernia
- inguinal hernia
- hiatal hernia
- umbilical (epigastric) hernia
Can a hernia cause digestive issues?
- Pressure on surrounding tissues. Most inguinal hernias enlarge over time if not repaired surgically. In men, large hernias can extend into the scrotum, causing pain and swelling.
- Incarcerated hernia. If the contents of the hernia become trapped in the weak point in the abdominal wall, the contents can obstruct the bowel, leading to severe pain, nausea, vomiting, and the inability to have a bowel movement or pass gas.
- Strangulation. An incarcerated hernia can cut off blood flow to part of your intestine. Strangulation can lead to the death of the affected bowel tissue. A strangulated hernia is life-threatening and requires immediate surgery.
You can’t prevent the congenital defect that makes you susceptible to an inguinal hernia. You can, however, reduce strain on your abdominal muscles and tissues. For example:
- Maintain a healthy weight. Talk to your doctor about the best exercise and diet plan for you.
- Emphasize high-fiber foods. Fruits, vegetables and whole grains contain fiber that can help prevent constipation and straining.
- Lift heavy objects carefully or avoid heavy lifting. If you must lift something heavy, always bend from your knees — not your waist.
- Stop smoking. Besides its role in many serious diseases, smoking often causes a chronic cough that can lead to or aggravate an inguinal hernia.
Can an umbilical hernia make you feel unwell?
Complications that can develop as a result of an umbilical hernia include:
- Obstruction – where a section of the bowel becomes stuck outside the abdomen, causing nausea, vomiting and pain
- strangulation – where a section of bowel becomes trapped and its blood supply is cut off
- this requires emergency surgery within hours to release the trapped tissue and restore its blood supply so it doesn’t die
Surgery will get rid of the hernia and prevent any serious complications, although there’s a chance of it returning after the operation.
Repairing an umbilical hernia. An umbilical hernia repair is a relatively simple procedure that normally takes about 20 to 30 minutes. General anaesthetic is usually used so there’s no pain while the operation is carried out.
Does an umbilical hernia cause a lot of gas?
Yes, a hernia can make you feel bloated. Hernias that occur in the abdominal region (eg umbilical, ventral or inguinal) can cause a sensation of bloating or fullness in the affected area. This is because the hernia puts pressure on the surrounding tissues and organs, leading to a feeling of discomfort.
What are the first signs of a hernia?. A hernia occurs when part of an organ or fatty tissue pushes through a weak spot in the surrounding muscle or tissue. This creates a bulge or protrusion. If you’re experiencing pain or discomfort in your tummy or groin area, it’s possible that you may be suffering from a hernia.
But what does a hernia feel like? Below are some of the most common symptoms:
- A bulge or swelling – the most obvious sign of a hernia is a bulge or swelling in the affected area. In some cases, this bulge may be visible. In others, it may only be felt when you touch the affected area
- Pain or discomfort – hernias can cause varying degrees of pain. Some people may only experience a mild ache or discomfort, while others may feel sharp, intense pain
- Pressure or a feeling of fullness – you may feel a sensation of pressure or fullness in the affected area, especially when standing or lifting heavy objects
- Nausea or vomiting – in some cases, a hernia can cause nausea or vomiting, especially if it is causing an obstruction in the digestive tract
- Difficulty passing urine – this symptom is especially found in men. The hernia can sometimes press on the bladder or urethra, making it difficult to pass urine.
Can an umbilical hernia cause acid?
Sometimes, people may feel pain in the affected area when they cough or bend over. They may also experience acid reflux or chest pain, although this is less common.
If you suddenly experience a severe sensation of pain, associated with your hernia, or if your hernia is tender to touch you should seek medical help immediately.
As there are many different types of hernia, there are several different possible diagnostic techniques:
- Some hernias, such as inguinal hernias, will be diagnosed by a physical examination. The doctor may press on your stomach or ask you to cough whilst they feel different areas of your stomach
- Some hernias, such as hiatus hernias, are not physically visible of palpable. Your doctor may use an x-ray or endoscopy to diagnose to help make a diagnosis
How does umbilical hernia affect digestion?
A hernia can affect the intestines, which may cause a change in digestion and bowel movements. People may experience constipation or narrow, thin stools.
In severe cases, constipation with a hernia may indicate intestinal obstruction. If people have constipation with abdominal pain, nausea, vomiting, or inability to pass gas, they should seek immediate medical attention.
Does a hernia cause lots of gas?
Yes, a hernia can make you feel bloated. Hernias that occur in the abdominal region (eg umbilical, ventral or inguinal) can cause a sensation of bloating or fullness in the affected area.

- Difficulty passing urine – this symptom is especially found in men. The hernia can sometimes press on the bladder or urethra, making it difficult to pass urine.
Does hernia cause acidity?
A hiatal hernia can also put undue pressure on your stomach, by squeezing or twisting it. This pressure can make your stomach retain acid, which can then flow up into your esophagus. You could develop chest pain, gastroesophageal reflux disease, and/or heartburn, and have trouble swallowing or even breathing. The acid may also cause ulcers within the stomach that can bleed and lead to acute or chronic anemia (low blood counts).
There are a few different kinds of hiatal hernias. Type I hernias, or sliding hiatal hernias, are the smallest and most common variety. These hernias cause your stomach to slide through a small opening in the diaphragm, and up into your chest. These often do not require an operation or treatment.
Much less common than these are Types II, III, and IV hernias, or paraesophageal hernias. These occur when a part of the stomach protrude into the chest adjacent to the esophagus. That part of the stomach is “trapped” above the diaphragm and can’t slide back down again. While these hernias are far less common, they can be more dangerous, since they cause more serious symptoms, and because the blood flow to your stomach can be compromised.
Can umbilical hernia cause GERD?
Hernias don’t always cause symptoms or require medical attention. However, depending on their location and severity, they can trigger a variety of problems, including chronic indigestion, also called gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD). Similarly, you can also develop a hiatal hernia from GERD. Despite the link between these conditions, having frequent indigestion doesn’t guarantee you have a hernia.
At Surgical Associates of North Texas in McKinney, Texas, Scott A. deVilleneuve, MD, uses minimally invasive approaches when treating most hernias. If you have frequent problems with indigestion, here’s what you need to know about hiatal hernias and how to spot the signs of a problem.
Indigestion and hiatal hernias. It can be easy to miss the signs of a hiatal hernia, because they often overlap with indigestion. For example, they can both cause:
Can hernias cause gastritis?
- Gastrointestinal obstruction. Your stomach or another organ could get stuck and compressed or twisted in the hiatus, creating a blockage in your gastrointestinal tract.
- Gastritis. Trapped acid in the herniated part of your stomach could cause inflammation, stomach ulcers and bleeding inside.
- Ischemia. Your hernia could become so tightly compressed that it cuts off its own blood supply. This leads to inflammation and pain in the organ and, eventually, tissue death.
Can an umbilical hernia cause other problems?
About Umbilical Hernias. An umbilical hernia is a weakness that develops in the abdominal wall through and around the belly button, called the umbilicus. A bulge or sac containing fat or intestine pushes out through that weakness, sometimes causing an “outie” belly button. Most patients with umbilical hernias first notice a belly button bulge or discomfort. Over time these hernias can get larger and more uncomfortable as the hernia sac gets pushed out from inside the abdomen. Like other hernias, an umbilical hernia in an adult will not go away or get better without treatment.
Umbilical hernias carry the risk of becoming stuck or “incarcerated,” which could cause strong pain, nausea, vomiting, or the inability to pass gas from the rectum. This is an emergency, and if this happens, you should contact your doctor immediately or go to the emergency room.
Umbilical hernias can be diagnosed by your doctor by listening to your history and performing a thorough physical examination.
Treatments for Umbilical Hernias. Because of the risk of incarceration and symptoms caused by the umbilical hernia, surgical repair is recommended for most patients. At Mount Sinai, surgical repair of small umbilical hernias is usually done using the traditional “open” surgery method. Larger umbilical hernias are classified as ventral hernias, and can be repaired with either “open” or laparoscopic techniques.
📹 Hiatus hernia: signs, symptoms and treatment
Mr Ahmed R. Ahmed discusses hiatal hernias (often called hiatus hernias), what causes them, and how they can be treated.
I was recently diagnosed with a hiatal hernia after an endoscopy a couple of days ago. I’m going to list my symptoms below so that people who haven’t been diagnosed can compare to their own and hopefully get it checked out with their doctor: *Shortness of breath after meals (lasting anywhere from 2-12 hrs) *Acidic belching/regurgitation *Pain in upper part of stomach *Occasional back pain *Soreness of throat *Mild heartburn *Extreme anxiety and headaches when I experience the shortness of breath. (Spicy foods, fizzy/carbonated drinks, and fried and processed foods seem to aggravate my symptoms as well. Also I noticed pastas seems to also make it worse) I was about 80 pounds overweight and got them off and the symptoms were almost non existent so I can tell you from my experience that being overweight actually was a contributing factor for my symptoms. I recently put on 60 lbs back 😞 and the breathlessness is back! I feel the anxiety at it’s peak. So definitely the extra weight for me is what triggers my symptoms (might not be the case for someone else but it is for me), currently working on getting those 60 lbs off again. So if you think you have these symptoms and are significantly overweight like myself, try working on getting some weight off and I believe you should get some relief.
My dad has been suffering from heart burn and acid reflux. So he started changing his lifestyle and maintained diet. But the symptoms persisted. 4 years he has been going to different hospitals for check ups. All the doctors diagnosed him with either ulcers or acid reflux and was given allopathic medicines. Still it remained. Just few days ago he was diagnosed in an ayurvedic medical that he has hiatus hernia. Hope he gets better soon❤
No pain for me at all, ever. I did cough since the acid reflux would burn my throat (but I did not experience pain). However, there was this issue about food getting caught in my throat. It did that for almost 25 years, and I thought my throat was just too narrow (I do have an usually narrow neck for a man). Then it started to get worse in my late 40s and early 50s where I had to purge my throat of he food quite often (once a week sometimes even eating something like pasta). But the thing that really made me upset was that the enamel on my teeth came off in areas. The dentist didn’t tell me until it was basically too late that when acid went into my mouth at night for week after week, it ruined my teeth. So now my teeth are partially ruined permanently without serious gum surgery due to the hiatal hernia that I had for decades of my life without any knowledge of it. Anyway, I am finally getting this fixed next week after all this time of not really knowing what was going on, and it sure will be nice not to have acid come in my mouth any time I eat anything close ot bedtime. And I look forward to not having to purge my throat all the time when I eat just about anything because it’s just annoying and, actually, kind of embarrassing to go to the bathroom to take care of it when you are trying to enjoy a meal with family and friends. People thought I was purging as in an eating disorder too, which I absolutely never did.
mine felt like a heart attack when i first had it. at the hospital was treated for heart attack, but after the chest xray they discovered my stomach was pushed up on my heart. i am surprised this doc is not mentioning that as a symptom, bcz the doctor who treated me said it was very common to feel like a heart attack.
My doctors look at me like I’m crazy. I have something that gets lodged in what feels like my rib cage. When I push just benefit it feels like an empty bubble wrap being pushed. Only one doctor felt it and continued to refer me for scans. They advised due to my age they don’t want to do a CT scan just yet. It’s effecting me; as my stomach got bigger when I attempted exercise and if I bend, gag or position funny it pops out. Once I was driving and had to pull over to wriggle it back in. It’s frustrating as the person who scanned me did not cover the area I mentioned. The endoscopy has not detected it and after all the trauma, I was advised that where the issue is, he wouldn’t be able to detect it anyway as the camera didn’t go near there. It’s frustrating that the professionals dismiss your symptoms because they are too lazy to listen and FEEL the issue. Instead they have a generic idea of what a hernia could be and dismiss you because you don’t have the symptoms that come with a larger hernia. Everyone is different and experiences different issues for the same diagnosis. I cannot wait for it to be diagnosed as it’s really effecting my lifestyle!
What an eye opening article. I’m currently going through a second undiagnosed period of almost identical symptoms and pain, which my GP suggested (or suspects) a potential H.Hernia. Ruling out other things with blood tests but have Gaviscon Advance in the interim which appears to have helped. I was terrified it was pancreatic but doctor says no. Awaiting endoscopy after blood results and almost HOPE it is this as I know I can work around it. Great article. Hopefully soon I can exercise again!
The acid reflux is often caused by not enough acid in the stomach. When the stomach acid is low the hiatus gap relaxes making it easier for stomach contents to rise up. A lot of people get help from drinking apple cider vinegar and water or lime/lemon juice to raise the stomach PH. When you have trapped air in your stomach, you can try 1/2 teaspoon of Bi carbonate of soda in a little water. This will relax the hiatus alowing the air to be burped out. If you have acid, one of the best ways to halt it is to eat an apple. Medical land won’t tell you this as they don’t make money from it. Taking anti acids is probably the opposite thing you should do. Anti acids obviously reduce the acid in your stomach, which is a bad thing, as it greatly reduces your intake of nutrients and minerals from food and can result in cronic fatigue, amongst other things. Most doctors know next to nothing about nutrition. Medical school teaches them hardly anything. The best way to fix your hernia or at least make it 90% better is through better nutrition and when you eat. I know because I’ve done it. My doctor used to say an operation is simple and easy, until one of his patients had one and is now much much worse.
I’m suffering from Hiatal Hernia and GERD. My Xiphoid process is inflamed too. I have been taking Sompraz IT (Esomeprazole (40mg) + Itopride (150mg)) since past 5 years now and I cannot pass even one day without it. If I don’t take Sompraz IT then I can’t even eat and full of acid reflux, vomits, bile in my mouth etc. Surgery has been ruled out because it is near the valve. Kindly advise
Anyone worried about heart palpitations take a look at York Cardiologist here on YouTube, he has a few articles where he explains about the Gut/Gerd etc connection with Palpitations, he explains everything unlike our own GPS, I’ve had this crap for 4 years now, breathless, chest pain, bloating and after Cardiac Scan, Lung Function tests all coming back normal, the Dr puts everything down to Anxiety and just wants to push pills and just left to live with it, it was my Chiropractor who diagnosed my HH and surgery doesn’t always work so I get adjusted by my Chiro and it’s such a relief to not feel like I’m carrying my stomach in my chest
I guess losing weight is my “lifestyle change”. I’ve lost about 5 lbs already by just changing my diet to eating very little processed foods, fruits for my sweet tooth and eating smaller meals. I’ve noticed my bulbous belly has made me feel less uncomfortable. I still get cramps in my diaphragm when I have fits of coughing.

ive been suffering form what i really feel like is a hiatal hernia. its been 4 years. Im 27 years old today and i am unable to enjoy any alcohol and am getting extremely bloated in my epigastric region after trying to have a birthday dinner and its really getting to me. I dont ever suffer from acid reflux, but i get really tight bloating and distension in my epigastric region. I have had a abdominal and chest CT scan, 2 endoscopies and a barium swallow, as well as echocardiogram and ecg. All has come back fine except my first endoscopy a few years ago said hiatal hernia but no size or anything, the hospital said they think it was really minor and following tests have not shown any hernia. I dont know where to go from here. I have been getting heart palpitations now too and i cant exercise without discomfort in my upper abdominal area. Naturopath hasnt helped, only last option is to take amitriptyline to ‘help calm the nerves around the stomach’. does anyone have advice? I honestly dont know what to do. Im seeing my third gastric surgeon next week for yet another opinion but at some point i need to stop trying to search for a diagnosis and somehow get through life. Has anyone had any luck with diagnosis of central upper abdominal bloating? im really skinny and the rest of my stomach (belly button down) is completely flat! its so weird..
My 89 year old mother has a hiatus hernia but finds it extremely difficult to eat apparently she was told that their is very little that can be done except to give her medication to calm the symptoms which is hardly helping her at all I have gotten to the stage where I don’t know what to do for her or where to turn to for help
I have a pain from a long standing misdiagnosed hernia Now after pushing open a stiff window I felt a tear and a lot of pain from the bottom of my left ribs up to my left armpit and a bit further It hurts when I breath and it seems to sometimes cut of blood to my left arm The muscle affected is the one I pee with, poop with and talk with (I only feel the left muscle moving when I talk, maybe because its torn) The pain is like I was hit with a bat a day ago, like a aching
Thank you for this valuable information! I was diagnosed with a hernia, and the supplements from Planet Ayurveda significantly helped in managing my symptoms naturally. A neighbor also used their herbal remedies post-surgery and recovered faster. I highly recommend it for anyone dealing with hernia issues!
Hi, I’m from Nepal. I’ve observed “clean based ulcer at posterior wall” of my stomach while I’ve done 1st endoscopy on 27 Sept., 2018. Then Dr. advised for triple therapy. 2nd gastroscopy report of 15 Nov. 2018 showed “deformed bulb with healing ulcer”. Again started same therapy with changing one medicine. 3rd gastroscopy report of 20 Dec. 2018 showed “Hiatus hernia (grade 1) deformed bulb”. Dr told ulcer is normalized and you can take normal food from now. But when I’ve seen your article, I can not stop to write you. May you suggest what can be cause, effect and easiest way of solution for this level of hernia?
Thank you doctor for the professionalism with which you do your work. You listen to your client and you always put their needs first, to ensure they live another day healthily and vibrant. Cheers to you my doctor, I celebrate the way you do your job . If it was up to me I would give you the award of being the best Doctor. Thank you doctor for all you Dr Igho for curing my hernia.
Hey dr ahmed, my name is noha and I’m studying medical diagnostics imaging. So the thing is i have case study and the topic is “hiatus hernia” . So while i was searching about it meaning, symptoms I found a article for you . Explaining it, it was really helpful. I just need name of books or any sources That i can use it in my case Regards
Just to let you know doctor. The drugs you suggest are temporary as are life style changes. If not treated with surgery it only gets worse. I have acid coming out my nose when I sleep and still doctors are pushing the drugs. They still won’t check for hernia. Now my esophagus hurts right up to my tonsils. Why would you suggest drugs knowing it can turn into cancer?
Before I tried applying this acid reflux disorder solution “Aυstin Samupko” (do Go ogle to find it), I was once a patient of heartburn, acid reflux disorder as well as chest pain also. However they are all disappeared. Consistent tiredness and also rashes were gone also. It feels like I`m returning to my natural self back again, I am feeling healthy.
I have a hiatus hernia. I don’t get heartburn ATALL. I do get my gullet filling up with what feels like wet bread and tastes like vomit during the night only. I avoid all alcohol, caffeine, chocolate, and any thing else on the usual list of things that are meant to be irritating. Bed head raised, don’t eat within four hours of going to bed. Doctors put me on Lansoprazole, but since I don’t get heartburn, seems like a pointless exercise. Nothing helping. Don’t get to sleep much. Life is rubbish at the moment.
I was diagnosted with a hiatal hernia 2.5cm after I did a endoscopy.The thing that torture me it’s when sometimes when I sit down or when I run and stop I have a feeling In my chest like fluttering can’t breath for 3sec,I’m worst scenarios it last for 4minutes and my heart goes crazyy I don’t know how to explain this feeling if very difficult to explain to someone who doesn’t have it
Regularly get chest pains and arm pains and the hospital always clear it saying it’s not heart related. 24/7 I am bloated and I have breathing issues, I used to box and was super fit then all of a sudden abdominal pains and bloating belching acid reflux chest pains shortness of breath anxiety, a lot of palpitations, sometimes during my sleep I’ll wake up with palpitations and so much more. Been suffering with this for a year now and th doctors have no clue what it is no ibs medications or anything they’ve given me has worked. Wondering if it could be a hernia. Had an endoscopy but it had to be aborted when it just reached the top of my stomach as it was just too painful. If Anyone got any info on this please share as this has ruined my whole life in every way possible
My doctor says my hernia is too small for surgery but the symptoms are miserable everyday of every hour. My acid reflex was getting worse within time and they prescribed me all sorts of medicines that did absolutely nothing to help. Luckily, I crossed the path of a man who had the same problem and suggested Nexium. Ever since my acid has no longer been an issue and I can eat whatever I wanted without suffering the effects. It was a true game changer after 7-8 years of this. HOWEVER, I could always feel my hernia and it doesn’t stop the excessive gas building up in my stomach. I constantly burp and most of the time it gets stuck and I have to breathe in through my stomach really hard to air it out. Burping has always been painful…it takes the air out of me and the gas comes one after another. The effects are tremendous for a “little” hernia. What should I do?
Mine is very painful I am on three different pain killers just to try to manage the pain also on the strongest ppi they can give me i have asked if I can have surgery for it but they say they don’t do it any more. I am only 27 and don’t want to have to take all the pills for the rest of my life can anyone help?
Just curious if anybody else has experienced something similar. When I exercise and exert myself, particularly when running, it feels like right below my sternum is (right below rib cage in middle) something there does a “back flip” and it makes me immediately stop an lose my breath and feel like I have to go to go to bathroom. It causes me to burp, as well. I believe it could be a hiatal hernia. My heart has been checked so no issues there. Has anybody else experienced this ?
I had an inguinal hernia and it was meshed repaired with arthroscopic surgery. and the doctor said I had a abdominal hernia because my belly button stuck out, its stuck out all my life and not extremely just a little, but since the surgery now I have a bulge above my belly button slightly to the right. and when I feel it, I feel like ridges when I rub my hand down on that part of the belly but not on the left side. and I always feel bloated even after a small meal. I think the restricted my stomach or something
im scared of the cancer risk. I dont have much symptoms just slight phlegm in the mornings and sometimes i can feel something maybe last nights food in my food pipe i think its called silent reflux but it might just be normal. I dont take any meds because it doesnt bother me. But im scared of getting cancer by it. Am i at risk?
Hey i have a sliding hiatis hernia my symptoms are reflux am on 40mgs of omeprizole 2 times a day and renitadine at night reflux is under control but i am nauseous 24/7 for the last 8months or so am on odansertron 2 times a day and doesn’t help much, i had an appointment for the surgeon but am holding off for aslong as possible due to recovery time being quite long and haven’t heard good things about it any ideas ? Im thinking i may need to give the surgery a go are there any complications ect and do you think it will fix me ?
I have Crohns disease and I had a endoscopy 2015 after my bowel resection and was told i had a hernia but was small and nothing to worry about, recently ive been suffering with acid reflux and bad acid abdominal pain taking a full strip of gaviscon tablets with no release of pain, been back to my gastroenterology dr and been diagnosed with Hiatus Hernia been prescribed Amoprazole two daily and if doesnt work im due for another endoscopy but im in pain, i feel like im having an heart attack some days plus cant sleep on my side as brings my hernia pain on so having to sleep on my back which gives me back ache due to having Arthritis, im hoping my hernia isnt dangerous because it worries me plus ive started getting like heart palpitations, anxiety attacks daily and breathless, im sure its all down to my hernia but my dr says pre menopausal anxiety, im getting worried now, times are getting worse cant get into seeing a dr and i feel like im being left to suffer, its worrying times. Thank you for this article dr, i wish you where my doctor .😊
I am 23 and have had a hiatus hernia for about 4 years. My symptoms have been worse over the last 1-2 years (bad heartburn and acid reflux, very uncomfortable bloating, often throwing up food after eating). Would you recommend I have the surgery? Also are there any side effects from having the surgery?
My doctor says I have this, but I rarely have heartburn and reflux, and never pain. I have very uncomfortable early fullness after eating very little, neusea, air in upper GI tract and often swollen belly. I eat and weight super healthy. Is my doctor wrong?? I think I might have gastroparesis. How do you know the difference?
Go vegan, fo yoga, learn how to breathe for hernia and never ever eat after 6. Large breakfast, decent lunch, then intermittent fasting. If everyone did this big pharma would be out of money. Hey that’s just my opinion. No I’m not a doctor. Believe or don’t believe. An honest physician will second this
I’m only 17 and I’m getting pretty much every symptom that’s been discussed in this article and I suffer with anxiety so I’m so scared I don’t know what to do I went to the hospital they didn’t really help and they made me a doctors appointment and hey didn’t help either I’m getting pain in my asothagus area a nana weird feeling directly behind the middle of my sternum I’m scared and I don’t know what to do
I would like to know if it’s normal to have the symptoms worse in cold weather. I’m having heartburn everyday, really full stomach and heart palpitations but I notice it gets even worse when I go out in cold weather with less clothes. I feel a shaking feel inside and start to have terrible palpitations. Then after walk and warm up a bit it’s normal again. I don’t have this problem in hot weather. Any idea about what is causing this?

Been told I have one of these but is only 5cm so not to worry about it. Also I feel sick on an off throw the day an night could this be due to it ?
I was diagnosed with hiatal hernia and helicobacter pylori I took 6 courses of antibiotics and still have not been able to get rid of the helicobacter I get chest pains and similar heart attack symptoms I have already been to hospital heaps of times and a cardiologist My heart and blood tests are 100% fine! Still it’s scary. I am on PPI and other natural remedies, but is seems to be getting worse. Has anybody had the surgery and improved? It’s been 3 years and it has deeply affected my life. I am sick of being sick! But before going to the surgery path I’d like to know if anyone had positive results

Yesterday I fell down in the kitchen I felt sudden pain on my lower back right side of it.i was thinking even to call 999 but after fee minutes I was managed to get up. I wonder that I get lower back pains is it because of the way I sit in the bed and also does that cause hernia as well? A doctor said I have got hernia on both sides and I need an surgery operation. I’m not cynical but I live on my own if I go ahead with hernia operation than my life would be very difficult. I wonder that they way we sit in the bed after woken up does that cause hernia problems? Last year I admitted to A&E twice this year one. For lower back problems. Any answer would be appreciated. Thanks in advance. X Ps I have no lumps bumps in the groin area apart as thick as a pen…stiffness.
Wow😮 you sure can tell this is old six years ago?! He’s talking about taking riveting and Zantac and all of this stuff and guess what those are all over commercials on television with lawsuits could because they caused cancer! That’s the dangers in perusal these YouTube articles from years ago I’m not staying up-to-date. My husband was on both, ridtidine and Zantac. Along with others, for years and years, maybe that’s the cause of his pancreatic cancer? For god sake, don’t take the medication’s today in 2023!
I had an ERCP and a biliary stone removed in December. Ever since I have had strange, occasional flutter feeling in upper mid abdomen just below xiphoid to the right a little usually. It is not necessarily with indigestion. Sometimes it is after I eat. It is not painful. I kid around and say it feels like a baby gently kicked a little. It’s very odd. I’m an RN and have tried to figure it out. I was told I had a moderate hiatal hernia. Any ideas ??????
