Frequent acid reflux is called gastroesophageal reflux disease, or GERD. When muscle tissue surrounding the esophageal sphincter weakens, it can cause the upper part of your stomach to bulge up through the diaphragm into your chest cavity. This is called hiatal hernia.

Weight increased is found among people with Hiatal hernia, especially for people who are female, 60+ old. The study analyzes which people have Weight increased with Hiatal hernia. It is created by eHealthMe based on reports of 122 people who have Hiatal hernia from the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), and is updated regularly.

In a hiatal hernia (also called hiatus or diaphragmatic hernia), a portion of the stomach penetrates (herniates) through a weakness or tear in the hiatus of the diaphragm, the small opening that allows the esophagus to pass from the neck and chest to its connection with the stomach.
A hiatal hernia occurs when the upper part of your stomach bulges through your diaphragm into your chest cavity. A hiatal hernia occurs when the upper part of your stomach bulges through the large muscle separating your abdomen and chest (diaphragm).
A hiatal hernia occurs when the esophageal hiatus of the diaphragm widens, creating a hernia cavity that can contain abdominal cavity contents, most typically the stomach. In larger hernias, parts of the large and small bowel can herniate through the esophageal hiatus. Hiatal hernias are typically asymptomatic.
With or without gastroesophageal reflux, dysphagia is a commonly reported symptom of a hiatal hernia.

Dyspepsia –Some patients may also feel stomach discomfort, bloating, burping or nausea. Chest pain –This symptom can get confused with cardiac chest pain. So, chest pain ICD should be coded if not mentioned as related to reflux.
Hiatal hernia. Paraesophageal hernia. Clinical Information. A congenital or acquired weakness or opening in the diaphragm which allows abdominal contents to protrude into the chest cavity; congenital diaphragmatic hernias are caused when the embryonic diaphragm fails to fuse.
Hernia with both gangrene and obstruction is classified to hernia with gangrene. A congenital or acquired weakness or opening in the diaphragm which allows abdominal contents to protrude into the chest cavity; congenital diaphragmatic hernias are caused when the embryonic diaphragm fails to fuse.
