How a Hiatus Hernia Feels

If Jane carries heavy bags
She feels sharp pain
Whether she sits up
Or laying in bed
Heaviness she feels
A rock on her chest
This is called a Hiatus
    hernia
In time it gets worse
It'll be hard to breeze
That is when relief is
     found
Surgery is done
So until that time comes
Jane has to wait
For the surgery
To relieve her pain

Hello my friend.Yes at times it is painful. I must be careful not to lift anything too heavy because that would set it off.God Bless you my friend.
