So I had this weird hiccup and then chest pain in the center of my chest. I hadn't eaten in hours, so it wasn't food. No I keep getting nausious for like 3-4 minutes then it goes away for 3-4 minutes and comes back, Over and over. I haven't vomited, but I feel like I have to. I called my surgeons office and they don't answer and don't return the phone call cause there unorganized. I am in the process of getting in to see a new WLS for follow up and when I called that office they said they can't direct me over the phone what to do because I haven't been seen by them yet. Any suggestions?

Can you call your primary, if you're worried about your heart they may send you in.

I had chest pains when I had the band and my primary sent me to the ER to rule out my heart which it wasn't and it ended up being acid reflux and a hiatal hernia.

If you're worried and you surgeon is that non-responsive about your health you should call your primary. We have to be our own health advocates. Good luck, Nancy.

PS mine would last seconds but come back that often too like a spasm.

Sorry for my question but i'm french and I would love to know what is a hiatal hernia? I see that word often here and wonder if that's what I have... Me too I have nausea in the middle of the night but haven't eaten for hours...I'm also in the stage of clear liquid so nothing to be hours in my stomach. Thanks!!!
