[|AI|]  Hi, thank you for providing the brief history of you. As mentioned by you in your history, I will advise a thorough assessment of your symptoms. Having knowledge about the hernia is required. Any time an internal body part pushes into an area where it doesn't belong, it's called a hernia. The hiatus is an opening in the diaphragm -- the muscular wall separating the chest cavity from the abdomen. Normally, the esophagus (food pipe) goes through the hiatus and attaches to the stomach. In a hiatal hernia (also called hiatus hernia) the stomach bulges up into the chest through that opening. There are two main types of hiatal hernias:1. Sliding and2. Paraesophageal (next to the esophagus). Now the type of hernia needs a diagnosis first. Also based on it the causes the treatment can be commenced. I wish you a good health. RegardsJay In Chat Doctor.
