For some reason, when I swallow pills with food or not, (doesnt matter)the top of my stomach feels like a knot. This has happened last 5 or 6 years. Not before. I had my gallbladder removed and didnt help. I still cant take any pills basically. Some softgel pills but it has to be smaller and take with food at night. Could this be a partial hernia. I did have scope etc and it said i a little hernia but nothing major? Any answers to what might help??
