Hiatal hernia - anyone else have that?
I have had that. I was at my doc's office when it happened. I got such a bad chest pain and asked his assistant to get him right away. He checked me for heart attack and all the other possibilities. He told me what happened and said my stomach was pushing on my other organs. He helped me get on the table and re postioned my stomach. It was pretty uncomfortable, but re positioning it did the trick. My abdomen was a bit tender from all the pushing for a few days, but that got better and avoided gastrointestinal surgery and/or invasive testing. I reported the incident to my other doc who checked it a few days later and told me it was much better. Now I get much less heartburn !! If you are going to have an emergency do it in a doc's office. Smile everyone !!
