Abdominal Pain
Abdominal pain is often described as a discomfort in the chest and abdomen. There are three types of abdominal pain: acute, chronic, and progressive. These abdominal pains differ in the duration they last. Acute pain starts within an hour to days and may experience without symptoms. Chronic pain lasts from a few weeks to months, and this type of pain is recurring. And progressive pain comes with signs and worsens as time goes by. People with hiatal hernia may experience all three types of pain in different situations.Abdominal pain may be a manifestation of an underlying disease. These conditions include indigestion, constipation, menstrual cramps, and hiatal hernia. In cases of hiatal hernia, the hiatus is trapped in the stomach, and the acids and contents hinder the release of stool. This condition makes the abdomen ache and triggers severe cases of stomachache and hiatal hernia. Abdominal pain caused by a hiatal hernia is often described as mild pain and pressure on the hiatus area.
