Is this a hiatal hernia?

Posted , 1 user is following.

I have been suffering with stomach issues for years. I have been told its ibs many yrs ago and i have taken every stomach medication going ie omeprosole, lanzaprosole, mabeverine etc etc etc but nothing has worked. In 2012 i had a colonoscopy and endoscopy and they found nothing!!! Im 55 in july and have been going through perimenopause for years so i was putting a lot of my symptoms down to that. 3 weeks ago i had a colon CT scan because bk in sept i did a stool sample and they said it came bk showing inflammation but i have not had the results bk from that yet 🙄.

Anyway 3 days ago i felt a sore slight burning pain centre line bottom of my rib cage and when i felt it i felt what i think is a lump, its the first time i have felt pain there its normally at the top of my stomach centre line just before the rib cage starts.

My symptoms recently are

Bloating

Feeling sick (not actually vomiting)

Chest pain

Acid reflux

Regurgitation (after eating)

Lots of flatulence

Hot flushes (not sure if thats menopause)

Shoulder pain.

My anxiety is through the roof and im at my wits end. Im ringing my gp surgery this morning but im not holding out any hope of getting to see a doctor.

Sorry for the long post but i would really appreciate some feed bk
