Asthma/hiatus hernia

Have loads of tests recently as short of breath on occasions even though my peak flow is 550and my sats r99. But friends tell Hiatus hernia can cause this too ,can anyone comment on this?

Hi meg, iam an endoscopy nurse and see hiatus hernias all the time. They can cause this but u would usually have other symptoms like pain or reflux ect. It might just be ur anxiety that's causing this Hun xx

Hi meg

Sorry you are feeling down hun

Your peak flow is quite good so its your anxiety

You have had lots of tests & they have come back ok

Maybe you need to see the GP again & tell them this is getting to much

I no when it does it makes us feel weepy & sometimes a good cry can let it all out & we can feel better afterwards

Thinking about you

Love
