A 53-year-old woman in Tainan had been experiencing symptoms like chest pain and heartburn after eating for years, thinking it was only a 'tiny stomach.' Recently, severe left chest pain led to an emergency visit where she was diagnosed with a hiatal hernia, causing her stomach to move into the chest cavity and twist. After surgery to repair the condition, her eating habits stabilized. Hiatal hernias, caused by organs passing through the diaphragm into the chest cavity, can lead to serious symptoms affecting the heart and lungs, emphasizing the importance of seeking medical attention for related discomfort.
