Hello everyone!

I just wanted to ask if anyone's got an epigastric hernia?

Im not sure if i have one as gp said that i dont as she cant feel the lump that im seeing and it is hard when pressing on it. I got this after i attended a hot yoga session. Also what is the pain like that you get with a hernia? My pain is like when i do some effort it is near or on the abdominal mass as i dnt know if it is a hernia... Also my stomach it is huge now...

Let me know please!!!

    What about asking if you can see a consultant who is specialises in treating hernias, they would be able to tell you if it is a hernia or not.  At least you can either rule it in or out then.  I had an incisional hernia, which was not painful which is not to say an epigastric hernia is not painful xx
