Understanding Hiatal Hernia

A hiatal hernia occurs when the stomach or intestines push through a small opening in the diaphragm into the chest cavity. This condition can lead to a variety of symptoms, including:

  • Shortness of breath
  • Heartburn
  • Persistent cough
  • Difficulty swallowing
  • Chest or abdominal pain
  • Feeling full soon after eating

While small hiatal hernias often remain asymptomatic and may not require immediate intervention, larger hiatal hernias can cause significant discomfort and complications, necessitating surgical repair.
