A hiatus hernia occurs when part of the stomach protrudes through an opening in the diaphragm. This can cause symptoms such as heartburn, chest pain, and belching. A hiatus hernia is often caused by weakness or injury to the diaphragm. Treatment typically involves medications to reduce stomach acid production and surgery to repair the diaphragm .
🔥 What is Acid Reflux
Acid reflux occurs when stomach acid flows back up into the esophagus. This can cause symptoms such as heartburn, chest pain, and regurgitation. Acid reflux is often caused by a malfunctioning of the lower esophageal sphincter muscle. Treatment typically involves making lifestyle modifications, such as avoiding trigger foods, and medications to reduce stomach acid production. Surgery may also be required in severe cases.
