A hiatal hernia is a hernia that involves the encroachment of the stomach upward into the chest cavity through the hiatus which is an opening in the diaphragm. A hiatal hernia often involves chest pain that can sometimes be confused with a heart attack. This type of hernia is also often accompanied by the presence of heartburn, or reflux. Generally, individuals who have hiatal hernias are not aware of them, or they have minimal symptoms. However, more severe hiatal hernias may need surgical correction. The surgical procedure has very few complications and a quick recovery. However, complications might include trouble swallowing, dumping syndrome, or excessive scarring. Additionally, some surgical corrections fail over time and have to be repaired. Although a hiatal hernia will not result in the awarding of social security disability benefits, claimants for disability should know that their medical documentation concerning this condition will be evaluated along with the records concerning other impairments they may have.
