Symptom No.4: Sore throat
Even though sore throat is a common symptom of respiratory illnesses, sore throat during hiatal hernia is caused by the excessive production of stomach acids which then start moving up to the upper parts of the stomach and throat. Upon reaching the throat these acids can wreak havoc by causing conditions like croaky voice. The acid content keeps rising till the mouth is not able to diffuse the ticking time bomb through a sufficient amount of saliva.
In extreme cases, the uprising of the acid content can also result in irreversible damage to vocal cords. Excessive seeping of the acid will also result in toxic conditions like tongue burns, damaged teeth, and swollen throat.
