I was hoping that someone might could tell me if they think my husbands symptoms might be hernia related. He was told that he possibly had one a few yrs. ago.

to lay on it.
*hard to breath at times
*acid reflux
* bloated feeling
* can't stand to mash on his stomach

Yes, and these symptoms can als signal a complication. The main danger with a hernia in this area, is a strungulated or obstructed bowel. I had these symptoms, as mine went back and forth intil the last time it stayed obstruced and I had emergency surgery. This can also be caused by other things so get him to a doctor ASAP. Good Luck!
