" I have one and I'm only 26 (was told about it at 25). I wish I knew how long I've had it and where the heck it came from!

" hope you are doing ok?
i had a lot of problems after my endoscopy felt worse than before very bloated etc, it did last for quite a few weeks after as well, and to be honest i still feel like it did make things worse overall even now nearly a year later, but im glad i had it done so that now i dont feel crazy cause i know what it is a hiatus hernia, i am also 26 and think iv had it for at least 8 years"!!!
