hiatal hernia

Hi, I am 36 year old female and was just diagnosed with a hiatal hernia. My symptoms are trouble breathing, a feeling of chocking when I eat, fatige,stomach bloating, chest pain and sometimes pain in my upper right side below my ribcage. When I eat I can only eat small amounts because it feels like I am going to choke to death. I have never had hearthburn.I did have my gallbladder removed in 98. I am awaiting for my doctors appointment. Does anyone else have this with out the heartburn.

I was sent to a heart doctor a few months ago because of the chest pain and everything was normal so I know it is not my heart. Is it normal for the chest to hurt all the time especially when I am active? I am used to walking 3-5 miles a day and I can't even make it a mile because of the chest pain and shortness of breath.

Can anyone give me any info,  on a hiatal hernia. What is your symptoms and what to do to relieve them

Oh and by the way I don't smoke, drink or do drugs.

One more thing I did have a tumor takin off my liver about 5 years ago, it was ok
