Hi

I have been diagnosed with hiatal hernia.My biggest problem is shortness of breath, especially when i'm sitting or standing, its decreases when i'm lying down.Any advice and thought , maybe the hernia is the reason about shortness of breath? P.S sorry about my bad English.

    Dear Stephan. I get shortness of breath also. But yours sounds worse than mine. What other symptoms do you have? Do you know how large your hernia is?

      The doctor says that is small hernia and is not the reason for my breathing problem.He gave me some drugs I take it about 2 weeks but still the breathing is the same.I dont know what to do i have this almost 5 years.

      Dear Stefan, Your problem could be so many things. Make sure your doctor continues to figure out what is the problem. Let me know. Hope it gets better.
