Well, I have to have another surgery, #22 . Hiatal hernia and ubilicus hernia repair, because it is interferring with my breathing.
No wheezes, in lungs from my asthma diagnosis that came 5 years ago. As soon as I was able to dislodge the hiatal hernia with a little finger manipulatin and pushing, no more trouble breathing.
I went to th ER because when I cannot breathe it is an emergency for me, but it wasn't for the Dr. who said because I managed to relieve the pressure through the 4 hours in the ER waiting room of wiggling, poking, proding, and burping to get the damn thing to move so I could breathe it was no longer an emergency.
5 falls in the last week because I can only sleep an hour or 2 at a time, so, I just dip out if I stop, and fall wherever I am when my feet quit moving.
I called everywhere, but cannot even get a surgical consult until Sept. 11, 2025. I hope I can hold out that long without a fractured skull or pelvis. As an extra, when I sleep my oxygen levels drop,

Prayers for you that our Lord will direct your path to a quicker appointment regarding the surgical repair. 🙏
Perhaps try an appointment with your general doctor first? You might need supplemental oxygen that would help you sleep better? Perhaps sleep with your head and chest elevated as well. There are pillow-like wedges for this purpose.

I saw my family dr, and my pulmonologist. Both missed this diagnosis and went straight to Asthma, but when my diaphragm relaxes, my lungs are clear as a bell. My oxygen level is 98-100 on room air. NOT ASTHMA I am thinking, and so is the sugical nurse I spoke to about all my symptoms.
High BP, variable heart rate and A-fib, severe pain between shoulder blades, depression, anxiety, aprehension, feeling of impending doom, all are symptoms that can be caused by this one condition, and none of the dr's I have seen have ever even mentioned a hernia could cause all this.
I am so glad people are finding out the truth about modern medicine, I just wish it moved a little faster.
Thanks for all the prayers, and I said a little one for you too, as well as those who pray for others.
