Answer 2

You have got to move to the Doctor immediately! It might be strangulating and will also be very critical! A hernia is a loop of gut that slips by way of the belly wall. If this loop will get strangulated in that muscle it will possibly get gang inexperienced. Please move to the general practitioner in these days!!.

Answer 3

I actually have one and have NO symptoms--it was found when doctors were looking for something else. But I believe heartburn is one of them.
If you get heartburn while you're asleep, sleep on your left side, not your right. Sleeping on the right allows stomach acid to drain into the esophagus.
