Symptom #5: Decreased Blood Flow
Another thing that can occur as a hernia gets bigger is strangulation. This is a decrease in blood flow to the affected area that occurs when the hernia gets so big that it gets trapped within the weakened muscle tissues.
Strangulation can become a serious enough problem that it adversely affects the blood flow to the rest of the body. This can create further problems with blood pressure and can increase the chances of developing other heart problems.
