I would love to hear commentary from people who have a hiatal hernia and what you do for it or have done for it. I was given a cardiac scan of my heart area for something and the scan 'accidentally' picked up that I have a hiatal hernia (totally unrelated to cardiac issues). I want to know what has worked for others. Yes, I have a doctor but feedback from actual patients is beneficial as well. I am not looking for medical advice for my own situation, just wondering about what has worked or not worked for you. Thanks.

I had that surgery about 12 years ago and it's back

I have had a small hiatal hernia for years and none of my doctors ever wanted to do anything about it. It doesn't bother me, so I’m fine with that.

Same here! Before I even knew that I have Gerd, I would sometimes bend down to tie my shoes. Something hard was felt close to my upper stomach and there was pain like my Diaphragm was in spasms. I did the same thing, massaged the area and it would resolve. Don't feel it often now since I try not to bend down that way.
