My Stomach Hurts
If you have a paraesophageal hiatal hernia your stomach should hurt a lot. A paraesophageal hiatal hernia occurs when the upper portion of the stomach is pushed through the hiatus up next to the lower esophagus. The esophagus however stays in the place that it should be in. Certain complications can occur with this type of paraesophageal hiatal hernia because the hernia will remain inside of the chest cavity at all times.
