Anyone have a hiatal hernia that leaned on your lungs?

Posted by SusanEllen66 @SusanEllen66, 21 hours ago

I have very little oxygen levels and some tightness in my chest. I’ve had my heart checked. I’ve had my lungs x-rayed and my oxygen levels are low. I’m wondering if anybody has had a hernia that was leaning on their lungs that would affect their oxygen levels.

Thank you

Hi, so sorry for your suffering….i have a friend who just had hernia surgery for the same reason- hernia pressing on lungs, affecting breathing…the surgery can help, though recovery might take some time depending on the type of surgery…delaying treatment isn’t great—you want to avoid problems that can develop from reduced lung capacity ….glad you raised this issue because so many people end up going to many doctors without relief ! Wishing you the best !
