Hello, I don’t think it is that common. According to studies Experiencing pain when coughing or sneezing, lifting heavy objects, or even when laughing or crying can be a sign of a hernia. Usually, this discomfort will be felt in the lower abdominal area. Other symptoms that you can look for are- lumps, Acid reflux or difficulty swallowing, Feeling full or constipated, Severe pain, nausea, and vomiting. I would suggest you take the doctor’s help. Thanks.
