My Hiatus Hernia

I was diagnosed having a very small hiatus hernia at the age of 25, I am now 49. I was prescribed mucaine and used it on and off for a period of time, it did work.

Once I had no problems I ceased to use the mucaine.

When I eat I have to stop when I feel an 'attack' coming on. I just sit bolt upright and have this feeling of a 'blockage' and after a period of time, this can vary from 20 seconds to a few minutes, the sensation of something sliding down my gullet freeing itself occurs whereupon I can continue eating. This can continue on and off throughout the meal, I try and eat small portions to avoid these symptoms occuring.

Sometimes to assist in freeing the 'blockage' I take a drink of water or fizzy liquid, this does help if I catch it athe right time, but if it doesn't then all hell breaks loose. The 'blockage' stays with this column of fluid above it with nowhere to go but out the way it came. I have to go for a walk and regurgitate what has just went into my gullet and after a while the 'blockage' clears itself and I can continue eating. Sometimes I have left the room for something like 30 minutes until I am 'off the hook'.

I have read numerous pages of symptoms but none of them match 'my' hiatus hernia :shock:.

Regards

    Hi

    Delighted to read this - my symptoms EXACTLY!!! Doc says this is also due to me stressing about HH. I'm taking omeprazole - absolutely GREAT for the acid but do NOTHING for the symptoms of \"blockage\" feeling. Keep Well!

    Cheers
