What Is a Hiatal Hernia?
Reviewed: Dr. Mera
6. Symptoms: Regurgitating Food
When we swallow our food down, we generally want it to stay down. Bringing it back up again is never pleasant. However, if you have certain medical conditions, then it can be harder to keep your food down. Some hiatal hernias (PEH Type II and Type III) can result in mechanical obstruction of the lower esophagus, causing regurgitation.
Furthermore, some patients may also experience dysphagia or difficulty swallowing (most often solid foods).
