I basically was diagnosed with hiatal hernia by was going under using a scope to find out why I was throwing up. As for a lump? I am not quite sure if that would be caused by hiatal hernia. Today's the 20th and I am pretty sure by then you found out what is wrong?? I hope so and hope you can have it solved.
What helped me is eat more healthy and avoid food that bothers you so much. Alot of sugar and greasy food seems to bother me the most so I avoid it and I do exercise to strengthen my abs muscle. It seems to help and it helps me to breathe better. Also..what helps is to avoid stress, too. I learned how to manage my stress and it seems to stop my acid from flairing up. I hope you are doing good right now.
