10 Hiatal Hernia Symptoms
Reviewed: Dr. Mera
Symptom #10: Nausea, Vomiting & Dry Retching
These are symptoms that are not unique to those who suffer from hiatal hernia. Nausea is described as the feeling you have before you vomit while vomiting is when contents in your stomach are expelled. Dry retching or heaving occurs when you vomit but nothing is expelled. This can be a very painful sensation as it is tugging on the esophageal junction repeatedly.
If you are experiencing all three symptoms on a frequent basis, you should make an appointment with your doctor to determine its cause. In some cases of vomiting, there may even be blood in the contents expelled. This can indicate that there is a tear in your esophageal junction and you should seek medical attention as soon as possible.
