View Full Version : Could a Hiatal Hernia cause all of this?

I just kind of pinned all this down to anxiety by now, but the more I read about hiatal hernia, the more I think this might actually be my problem.

I'm aware I'm horrible at self diagnosis, but the doctor I've seen never really ruled this out as a possibility. I only got blood work done. I never brought up how I've been getting heartburn more than usual as well (but it's not really that much of a bother, but I've read that sometimes hital hernia might not even cause heartburn at all).

Here are my symptoms:

>Feeling a tight sensation in the middle of my chest, just above my rib cage before I fall asleep. It also feels like I can't breathe.
>I also had a "tight band" sensation for two days before this happened right belong my chest, and above my waist. Almost like a feeling that your bra is too tight (even when I wasn't wearing one).
>No appetite
>Weird feelings like twitching or spasms in between my rib cage.
>Weird feelings in stomach. Almost like a baby kicking.
>Dull pain in shoulders and sometimes back/shoulder blades.

I did get a sleep study done, which I'll probably get the results from in another week or two. I'm not sure if this will show up in that.

Sounds like gallbladder to me.

Really? I could suggest it to my doctor.

Why would you think these symptoms are gallbladder related?

Actually, I believe my father had his gallbladder removed, but at a much older age.
