I’ve had a hiatal hernia for many years and I didn’t know until I had a ct scan for my chest. I noticed the that when I bent forward causing some pressure in the hernia area, it feels like it shifted and this caused discomfort but it would go away when I stand up straight and massage the area it would move back to normal. I asked the doctor about it and he said it’s a small hiatal hernia but he didn’t offer any help with it, I don’t want surgery and I’m just reading that it often comes back.
