Hernias tend to get larger and more symptomatic over time. Surgery gets more complicated the larger hernias get.
Dead gut can occur.
If you are referring to a hiatal hernia, in which the stomach is pulled into the chest, then it may lead to long-term acid reflux, troubles swallowing, and in worst case scenario, twisting and blockage of the stomach.
