Hiatus Hernia
Can Hiatus Hernia cause bad breathing? If yes, is there any cure?
I have one as well and as far as I know no it wouldn't because its not in the wind pipe. I think.

Hello,
A person with hiatus hernia can have dull pains in the chest, shortness of breath, palpitations and swallowed food causing discomfort in lower esophagus until it passes on to stomach. Patients may benefit by elevating the head of the bed and avoid lying down directly after meals.Antisecretory drugs like proton pump inhibitors and H2 receptor blockers can be used. Surgery is indicated in cases with chronic reflux. I hope it helps.
Best luck and regards!
