Can a small hiatal hernia cause the feeling of having a pressure band around the upper stomach ? And anxiety can cause fatigue ? I was recently diagnosed with Barrett's esophagus , a small hiatal hernia and yet I am experiencing symptoms of irritable bowel syndrome, eg diarrhea , loose stools, etc. .

    A hernia does not cause irritable bowel syndrome, or the feeling of a band of pressure.
