A hiatal hernia occurs when part of the stomach pushes upward through the diaphragm into the chest cavity through an opening called the hiatus, often leading to gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD).
Common, affecting up to 60% of people by age 60, though many are asymptomatic (Source: American College of Gastroenterology, 2015).
