The symptoms include [[Gastroesophageal reflux disease|acid reflux]], and pain, similar to heartburn, in the chest and upper stomach. 
The majority of patients with hiatus hernia are asymptomatic. However, some cases may develop [[gastroesophageal reflux disease]] which is associated with [[heart burn]], [[regurgitation]], and [[dysphagia]].  
 
In most patients, hiatus hernias cause no symptoms. Sometimes patients experience [[heartburn]] and [[Regurgitation (digestion)|regurgitation]], when [[stomach acid]] refluxes back into the [[esophagus]].


==History and Symptoms==
*The majority of patients with hiatus hernia are asymptomatic. However, in some instances, hiatus hernia may develop [[gastroesophageal reflux disease]] (GERD).
*History taking in patients with suspected GERD is important in diagnostic approach.
