Hiatial Hernia

Hiatial Hernia

I have had this Hiatal hernia for 2 years or more bothering me, and I was always sleeping on my right side, and waking up out of breath about 3 in the morning and never sleeping more than 3 hours at a time. Taking all kind of pills.  The problem was I was sleeping on the wrong side, as my stomach was sliding into the hernia and at the same time putting pressure on my left lung.  Now why did I have to figure that out and my doctor, knew nothing about it.

When I started sleeping on my left side no more breathing problem, and now I can sleep 8 hours right through!  If he knew about it I wouldn't have to have gone through that misery for 2 or more years, and not taking all those stupid pills.  I take no pills now.  I feel like a new person, because of just sleeping on my left side.
