Answer:

Hiatal hernia

Step-by-step explanation:

A hiatal hernia occurs when part of the upper stomach moves into the chest area. A paraoesophageal hernia refers to larger portions of the stomach or even other parts of the bowel that are pushed up into the chest. Typically, your stomach sits below your diaphragm, but in hiatal and paraoesophageal hernias, it can be found above the diaphragm.
