Is my breathing obstructed from a hernia? Is my stomach bloated from hernia? My stomach is very bloated and cannot eat without feeling very full and uncomfortable, I've gained alot of weight and eat much less, can you tell me what it is? Could it be a hernia?
My breathing is very difficult, casping for air, and waking up because I cannot breath, Would this be caused by a hernia, and do hernias grow?
Can a hernia cause stomach bloating and breathing problems?

I know this is an old question and hopefully you have had your hernia repaired. but the answer is yes it can. It did for me. I was in so much pain and I would get nauseaus from it and couldn't eat anything, so yes bloated yet my stomach was empty. I didn't have any breathing issues, but if your hernia was high then yes it could. I hope you are better now.

No, not usually. Symptoms of a hernia usually include discomfort or pain. The discomfort may be worse when you stand, strain, or lift heavy objects.
It sounds as though you should see your doctor.
