Hietal Hernia

A hernia is when one part of your body protrudes into another part of your body. A Hietal Hernia is when the upper part of your stomach goes through to the chest cavity. A Hietal Hernia is fairly common in about 25% of people over 55 and is more common in women and people who are overweight. The only way to correct this problem is through surgery. Though not normally painful it may cause food and acid to backup into your esophagus causing heartburn and chest pain.
