hi,so kind of you to reply i was allways a healthy person never had any health concern my first pregnancy's at 23 i went in labour early first at 29 weeks second at 28 weeks both boys are ok but with complications due being premature third pregnancy went fine no major probs healthy baby.Then 2002 started to feel ill with shortness of breath, loss of appetite, dizzyness,tremors,and panick attack like symptoms saw doc they said me hormones are playing up and advised to stop taking the pill.So did 2003 still generally unwell found out i was pregnant 8 months of my pregnancy was hell could'nt eat ,sleep or sit severe upper back pain pain under left breast feeling weak and lifeless doc were telling me its all prgnancy related i was'nt convinced i have had 3 children before but no ones gonna listen to you.32 weeks into pregnancy still feel like a zombie i was bleeding like mad spent 3 weeks in hospital till i was leaking fluid having painless contractions but as usuall docs think im lost.finally they find out from a scan that i have lost some hind water still bleeding time for emergency c section great.during section i was in so much pain my chest was killing everytime they moved the baby i was groaning in pain even after that day i felt that i could'nt swallow due to severe back and chest pain the food was getting stuck and would'nt go down it was agony.but was sent home without anything.months went by i was still in pain,heartburn,throat pain and muscle spasm cant eat mouth too dry food felt like not going down doc sent me for endoscopy while i was still half sedated i heard the doc explaining to my husband that i have a hiatul hernia and lot of acid which has caused inflammation so he gave zoton fastabs 30mg.6 years on still taking them symptoms still the same generally unwell put my foot down and went to see gp to sort everything out cause im fed up she turned round and says''you dont have a hernia or acid''so i asked then run some test to find out why i feel the way i do and if everything is normal then i would like to try for a baby while i can.She just flipped and says that she cant do anything or any tests and if i want a baby its up to me.I came out almost crying.

  Hi...I am not sure what or if u have a question....but, I had a hiatal hernia long b4 I had my daughter...I was 25 at the time.....I think ur dr may be more concerned with ur age and possible other issues u may not have mentioned.

Did ur GI dr mention the possibility of trying manipulation to try to move the hernia so it does not bother u so much?

Which dr have u had this talk with ur GI  or OBGYN?
