Anyone else experiences chest pain that radiates to the back with some trouble swallowing?

I have a small hernia as well as GERD.

    Well, I am on the same boat here. Gerd and Hiatal Hernia with symptoms like bloating and pain in the left chest, usually below the ribs. Kind of frustrating. What aggravates the situation in my case is also office work. I try to sit upright all the time. Slouching really makes things worse. I also stand up every hour to stretch and stay standing for 5 to 10 mins. When I get home it gets easier. But it really depends on what I eat. I am on PPI's for many years. Currently on Losec 20mg once a day. Trying to maintain a low dose although it's really tough. I am in distress everyday. I feel much better on weekends.
