Q: Hiatal hernia chronic nausea

Does anyone know if a hiatal hernia can cause chronic nausea, i have had nausea for 2 years and finaly got diagnosed with a hiatal hernia, i have tried the diet and lifestyle changes and antacids but i still have the nausea.
My dr tried to get a surgeon too see me but he refused and said that fixing the hernia would not stop the nausea.
Has anyone got any answers it would be great to hear from someone who has had the same symptom and had the hernia repaired.

I'm not sure I'm much help here but I have the same thing. One doctor told me if I lose weight (I'm not - overweight at all but muscled and have a tight stomach - I'm female) that it would take the pressure off. I do notice that when the symptom of nausea hits, if I can relax my stomach muscles and keep the stomach from holding in and pushing up, the nausea is relieved. Mine is a 'sliding' hernia (most common) so when it's pushing up - which seems to be more often at some times than not - i feel icky and when I'm feeling okay, I notice there is no pressure in that area. So I'm exercising more and eating less and we'll see if it makes a difference. After about 45 we seem to gather any extra fat around the middle - bummer isn't it, but in my case I may be on to something.

i have the EXACT same thing and i havent been able to find a cure, some days are worse then others but what i find helps the 24 hour nausea is manuka honey you take a tea spoon of it and it just calms everything down, also tea and sometimes antacids but im on so many right now i dont think they are working. Im only 19 and i have to live with this forever so if anyone else has suggestions please let me know.
