Went to see my surgeon yesterday and it wasnt good news. i have a 5cm diaphragmatic hernia which the bowel is looping through, and is also pressing against or attached to my heart. signed consent for emergency surgery and waiting for phone call to go in. Surgery may not be straight forward if the bowel has attatched to my heart. There doesnt seem to be much info on the web about my situation and i realise now just why ive felt so poorly, i thought i was losing my mental health. struggling at night to get comfortable, palpatations are helped with propananol, feel dizzy and breathless on and off through the day/night, just want this over with now.
