Hernia Diaphragmatic

Check for **hiatal hernia**

One possible cause of pain in the center of the throat and occasional problems swallowing could be GERD (gastroesophageal reflux disease) or a hiatal **hernia**. However, it is important to consult with a healthcare professional for an accurate diagnosis and appropriate treatment.

Yes. I have endometriosis and chronic back probs. When I cramp (pelvic) my back usually gets worse too and I get nauseous and dizzy and either constipated or lot of bowel movements in a row. I can tell the difference versus my stomach pain which usually but higher and comes with chest pain and more of weakness associated with my normal back pain. What your describing sounds like it may be inflammation from pelvic area and that can cause the bowels be not as “normal” (your normal). On area is inflamed it’s going to push the surrounding and change how those are functioning. May be the reverse and colon or intestines are pushing on pelvic region more. When happens to me I take electrolyte tablet, increase salt, and take more digestive enzymes when I eat. Feels like food just moves thru me too quickly and then exhausted when I don’t do those things. I stick with my “safe” foods that don’t give me as much stomach probs and don’t cause as much inflammation. I do other things but not entirely sure what else to tell you without more info. Will say things for calming stomach usually makes my chest pain worse! Peppermint, ginger… relive pressure inside stomach but it does so by relaxing the esophageal sphincter. The esophageal sphincter keeps acid in stomach so when it’s relaxed, my acid reflex gets too bad and then chest pain worse. I was told for so long the chest pain was anxiety but turns out it’s acid reflex from GErD and **hiatal hernia**- which flare worse when I’m anxious. What helps me for that is lemon water and apple cider vinegar diluted in water or cold herbal tea.

They must have changed names around some bc I had the gastric sleeve where 80% of my stomach was removed. My surgery I lost 250+ lbs, no more pre diabetic no high cholesterol, now I have low blood pressure, from really high blood pressure, and after 10 yrs from surgery my hiatal **hernia** has popped back up and now I have severe gastroparesis.
