Hi,
Last year I was admitted to hospital after throwing up buckets of blood (very scary experience) anyway I got diagnosed with a hiatal hernia (sliding) after a endoscopy and colonoscopy. It’s been a while now and i get acid reflux and heartburn now and again but the real problem I have is a constant shortness of breath which affects me. I have also had permanent lightheaded/dizziness for around 2 years now and I’m not sure if it’s related or something different as the doctors don’t have a clue. I have a few questions if someone could help I would really appreciate it:
- will my hiatal hernia get worse over time?
- Is it likely the hernia that is causing the shortness of breath?
- could it also be causing the constant lightheadedness and feeling of faintness? If not do you know what that could be?
Please help. Thanks a lot
