It looks like your title is cut off, but you’re asking about hiatal hernia signs and symptoms.
A Hiatal hernia happens when part of the stomach pushes up through the diaphragm into the chest. Many people have it without symptoms, but when it does cause problems, here are the key signs 👇

- Burning sensation in chest
- Worse after eating or lying down
