Is this a pulled muscle, or hiatal hernia?

ok I will. I'm laying down trying to rest. The pain is constant. I've got a appointment with my doctor tomorrow. The weird thing is, after i pulled what ever i did my mouth started burning, and so was my tongue. the whole inside of my mouth was red. but the upper abdominal pain never went away. Its right in the center where my breast bone ends. and it is tender to touch. it also hurts when i walk. it was like that when it first started, but i didnt feel the full effects of it till i started walking. I got out of breath walking to my brothers car. I couldnt even stand the seat belt strap on my chest. the pressure was so bad. the pressure has went away but the pain in my abdomen is still there, and my reflux is worse. but i was also on a high antibiotic at the time too. that could have messed my reflux up.

thats why i thought i had a hernia because my mouth and tongue started burning, not long after i did what i did. but i really dont see where jerking in bed would cause a hernia. I've never had the burning in the mouth with my reflux. I had no problems what so ever before all this occured.

Shirley what type of investigation did they do to find your hernia? Was it a EGD. The doctor that did my EGD, I told him about the burning, but not about the pain. would he have seen it without me telling him. I went to my doctor this morning, and they did a abdominal X-ray, and it showed where i was really backed up. They said if that doesnt help. Then to come back and they'll do a CT scan. The back of my throat is still red. I dont know if that is from the antibiotic or what. How accurate are EGDS at detecting hernias. I Still cant get the thought of a hiatal hernia out of my head.

Hey Shirley, I went to my GP, and they did an abdominal X-ray, and it didnt show anything. went to ER they did a CT scan, and a abdominal ultrasound still nothing all was good. I don't get it. I asked in the ER about a hiatal hernia, and they said it would have showed on the Ultrasound, or CT I dont get it. I'm putting my faith in God, and hoping, and praying things will get better. I still cant walk through Walmart or anywhere without discomfort. The pain has got a little better. This may sound strange, but sometimes it feels like something is out of place. I dont know. Do you have any discomfort at all when your walking?
