20 Year Old with Hiatal Hernia, need advice and help please!
Posted , 4 users are following.
Hey Guys, my name is Chris and I'm 20. Last April after being given an endoscopy I was diagnosed with a 5cm sliding hiatal hernia. Since then I have developed severe anxiety and depression. As of late the anxiety has simmered out and I have been perfectly fine for around 2/3 months. It wasn't until yesterday that I had what I believed to have been an anxiety attack, this caused me to vomit. I had not eaten in a while and managed to bring up just stomach bile. Since then I have felt unwell and unable to eat. I don't know whether this is due to lack of food or my hernia but I cannot eat whatsoever. If anyone has experienced this I would love a bit of reassurance and some advice on what to do next because I really don't know. Thank you.

I felt that a few months ago, just felt sick all the time and did not want to eat, would feel even worse when I would eat certain things, finally found it was a medication I was taking. I do have Gerd and 8.1 cm haital hernia and having surgery this month, it is causing me severe breathing problems.
Keep seeing doctors until they help you. I had to mention to doctors that I thought it was the h h causing my problem, finally after many different test my doctor referred me to a surgeon in Seattle whom has done many of these surgeries and if you should have this surgery, make sure he or she has done many of them.
The best to you
Warmly
