Vomiting of Blood or Passing of Black Stools
Hiatal hernia is common and usually small, but when it becomes more extensive, the stomach and other organs may be in danger since they may eventually slide up to the chest. Abdominal or gastrointestinal bleeding is a sign of an irritated esophagus that flows back from the stomach to the mouth. It is often mistaken as a disease, but this condition manifests in other diseases, such as severe cases of hiatal hernia. Abdominal bleeding is also an indicator of a severe case of hiatal hernia.
Gastrointestinal bleeding often comes with black or tarry stool, cramps in the abdomen, dark or bright red blood mixed in stool, bright red vomit, paleness, and tiredness. Sometimes, gastrointestinal bleeding is caused by hemorrhagic esophagitis. This condition occurs when the gastric acid of a person with a hiatal hernia irritates the digestive tract. The erosion of muscle and tissues can also be the reason for the leakage of blood, resulting in vomiting of blood or passing of black stools in the body.
