@19281928 Your symptoms are worse than mine but I have had episodes including the shortness of breath. A "full" feeling is a clue for me to go on a liquid or pureed diet of small meals until something shifts and I feel better. Constipation and a slow digestive system makes things worse so I watch all of those things before it gets too advanced. My reflux is the silent type and not causing pain. I agree the hernia IS a factor.
