I have this Pressure behind my sternum and but I know I have A hiatus hernia And I have Hart burn more than 3 days A week Its Funny but some time s when I push around on the lump spot it couses A real thick sputum to come up in my trout and mouth? Looks like skin or something? What should I do about this and what else could be happening in my chest aria? I also smoke cigarettes?
Hello hope the answer helps you. As far my understanding sir/madam is that you have a hiatal hernia found on some imaging study but symptoms of HERD as regurgitation, retrosternal heart burn combined with cigarette smoking seems to me the cause and if obese it is aggravated. Hiatal hernia can be associated with HERD. You don't fear try to stop smoking heavy, spicy meals less frequent and small meals after 3-4 hrs and donor lie down after taking food immediately.Also, some antacids will work on regular basis 3 weeks and if symptoms not improving than consult doctor as far my knowledge thanks for your response
