Those with severe anxiety symptoms, how did surgery affect you?

The most brutal symptoms for me are anxiety related. I presume my vagus nerve is being irritated by the hernia. But I’ve see a lot of doubt around this area both by professionals and others here.

I have classic panic like symptoms. Can’t exhale, shortness of breath, even when exercising. Jaw and back tightness, and the awful ball in my chest feeling.

For those of you who got hiatal hernia surgery, did these symptoms improve or go away altogether?
