Forum Post: "Shortness of Breath Due to Hiatal Hernia"

By , About.com Guide   September 20, 2007

Follow me on:

"I wanted to know if there are other people like me out there who experience shortness of breath due to their hiatal hernias. i often feel like there is an object lodged where my chest meets the upper part of my stomach and it is hard to get air passed it. I always feel like I'm not taking a full breath. I was diagnosed with a hiatal hernia in 2004 and at that time it was mild. Over the years my symptoms have gotten worse and today I am sleeping about 3 hrs a night and avoiding any flavorful food. I basically stick to rice cereals which are gluten or wheat free and baked chicken."
