I have recently had an endoscopy which showed I had a 3cm sliding Hiatus Hernia. I am in so much pain and discomfort with everything I eat. Is this right?? I have been told by doctors that it is just that but some days I feel so poorly. Feeling sick, chest aches, I feel weak, bloating to the degree whereby I look pregnant. The breathlessness is unbareable and really frightens me. I have tried to cut out foods that trigger it, but I feel I am living with this every single day! Without any relief. I'm on Lanzaprosol, 1 a day, it is doing nothing. Going back to the doctors is just a joe I was given a FODMAP diet sheet the other and was sent on my way. Who else suffers like this??

    I lived on pills.  Mine was not described in CM--- 1/3 of my stomach was out.  I had the surgery 3 weeks ago by a cardiothorist--- not a Gastrologist.  I had the lynx surgery.  No pain.  I was told my 3/4 weeks would be the worse.  A week of diarrhea and regeritation.  But I am fine and can't wait till this part is over.  Try seeing a "cardio surgeon" instead of Gastrologist.  Good luck!!!

    The doctors are telling me there is no need for surgery as it's only small but if this is just an Hernia causing all this trouble it's causing me a lot of trouble and I want it sorting.
