What actually happens when you get a hiatal hernia?

  • Answer:

    When a hiatal hernia occurs, the opening of the esophageal hiatus (hiatal opening) is larger than normal, and a portion of the upper stomach slips up or passes (herniates) through the hiatus and into the chest. This can be mild to severe.
