"I daren't go anywhere near Dr Google."

Go on...force yourself.

May be completely symtomless.
Heartburn.

The are by far the commonest symptoms.........

[pixie374]

It can be very painful in a particular place which is eased if you put pressure on it.

[albaqwerty]

Heartburn and frequent burping.

Last time I asked Dr Google about several symptoms, it came back with labyrinthitis (sp)
Scared the behookies off me

Pixie, thanks xx

[Sqad]

Well, it's not labyrinthitis this time..;-)
Yes it could be a hiatus hernia........

My HH gave me major acid reflex.

[Sqad]

reflux^^^^^^^

[albaqwerty]

I know I shouldn't, but I do like the thought of a major telling me I have a reflex

(apologies, told a doc this week that I was a glass half full gal, and a mate was glass empty, only thing is, the glass still needs topped up)

Alba. Check NHS choices, informative and simple to read .

As Anne indicated, the trick to getting meaningful information about medical conditions from Google is to add 'nhs' to your search string:

https://www.nhs.uk/conditions/hiatus-hernia/

[albaqwerty]

thanks Anne, will do.
Have similar symptoms to my late mum, but that's completely different :-)

Besides which, save me $47 from the removed poster lol

Am due a visit to the doc this week and will mention to him - gawd, it never rains but it pours

[anneasquith]

Rather than me saying simple to read, more like user friendly. Most things are treatable alba.

[rockyracoon]

Doh - Yes, reflux.

Get it checked by the doc. The prolonged acid reflux caused damage to the muscles in my oesophagus (sp), so I sometimes have a bit of trouble swallowing. It has also caused Barretts (though mild)

[anneasquith]

No harm in repeating good advice .

[Sqad]

Asquith.......I quite agree.
