 [ Symptoms ] what causes the eye to jump throbbing  my eye has been jumping for the past 2 weeks now and i am not sure what to do should i go see an eye doctor  please advise [ Disease ] i also have a hiatal hernia this condition is caused when the abdominal organs start to poke thru the abdominal cavity and press against the diaphram because of this when you do crunches you are putting pressure on the area that you have the hernia at also when you do any exercise you tend to breath faster this can be uncomfortable as well because the hernia is pressing on your diaphram which expands when you take a breath i hope this helps
