Hi all, I'm three weeks post-op today. I had a hiatal hernia repaired during the surgery as well. I noticed that every morning I now wake up feeling as though my throat is dry and on fire. I need extra pillows and can't sleep laying down. When I breathe in not only does it hurt in my throat and chest but I can feel the air move all the way down through my esophagus (or whatever part of the body moves the air through you) and also up through my dry nose. I haven't found anything on line about this being common and am going to talk to my doctor tomorrow. Did anyone else experience this? I don't eat late and I can't imagine that I NOW have acid reflux since it wasn't ever a noticeable issue for me before the surgery despite the Dr repairing a hernia I never had a problem with before. Please weigh in. Thanks.
