The acid may also cause ulcers within the stomach that can bleed and lead to acute or chronic anemia (low blood counts). There are a few different kinds of hiatal hernias. [uofmhealth.org]

Anemia: Anemia is the most common laboratory finding in patients with paraesophageal (type II) hiatal hernia, and results from damage and ulceration to the lining of the stomach due to compression of the stomach at the level of esophageal hiatus (see [memorialhermann.org]

Complications may include pulmonary (lung) aspiration, slow bleeding and iron deficiency anemia (for large hernias), and strangulation (closing off) of the hernia. [northwell.edu]

If conservative measures fail to control the symptoms or if complications such as pulmonary (lung) aspiration, iron deficiency anemia (slow bleeding due to a large hernia), or strangulation of the hernia occur, surgical repair is indicated. [surgery.ucla.edu]

Anemia, or low red blood cell count, can result herunterladen. Further, chronic inflammation of the lower esophagus may produce scarring and narrowing in this area. [ecaware.org]

Hiatal hernias can present acute symptoms such as obstructions, which can lead to serious complications of bleeding, ischemia, perforation and sepsis [3]. [pulsus.com]

This indentation is called a Schatzki's ring (or "B ring") although that term is reserved by some only for such rings that produce dysphagia. [learningradiology.com]

Paraesophageal hernias can become strangulated, resulting in dysphagia or chest pain, and require surgical correction. [pathwaymedicine.org]

Difficulty swallowing (dysphagia) is another side effect that tends to improve in most patients with time – provided food is chewed thoroughly. [mcw.edu]

Dysphagia (difficulty swallowing): Hiatal hernias can cause obstruction and delay in emptying of the lower part of the esophagus and the stomach, resulting in dysphagia. [memorialhermann.org]

The symptoms of gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) include heartburn, chest pain or burning, nausea, vomiting or retching (dry heaves) burping waterbrash, the rapid appearance of a large amount of saliva in the mouth that is stimulated by the refluxing [medicinenet.com]

A patient may exhibit such symptoms such as pyrosis (heartburn), occurring 1 to 4 hours after eating and aggravated by increased intra-abdominal pressure, accompanied by regurgitation or vomiting or retrosternal (behind the sternum, the bone lying mid [rn-journal.com]

Common symptoms from a paraesophageal hernia include: Chest pain—there are many causes for chest pain. [mcw.edu]

Another symptom of a hiatal hernia is chest pain. Since chest pain can also be a symptom of a heart attack, it’s important to contact your healthcare provider or go to the emergency room if you experience any chest pain. [my.clevelandclinic.org]

However, the chest pain with heartburn can be confused with the chest pain associated with a heart attack. You should call emergency services, usually 911, if you suspect you are having a heart attack. [colonialhealthcare.com]

Chest pain: The chest pain commonly occurs postprandially (after eating) and is substernal (behind the breast bone) in location, giving rise to concern that the chest pain is cardiac in origin. [memorialhermann.org]

Very large hiatal hernias and paraesophageal hernias can cause upper abdominal or chest pain. When pain occurs, surgical repair may be needed to prevent strangulation of the stomach. [iersurgery.com]

Esophageal manometry and 24 hour pH monitoring play important roles in assessment of esophageal motility disorders and reflux. For reflux, medical management with proton pump inhibitors constitutes the initial treatment of choice. [scielo.org.co]

PRESURGICAL EVALUATION Clinical presentation As the stomach moves into the chest, respiratory symptoms may predominate as a result of a lung compression and decreased forced vital capacity (FVC) (25, 26). [scielo.org.co]
