Excellent knowledge share. Where is your practice located???

Gosh mine is soooo minor. No pain. No vomiting. I’ve had it for years… thank god I’m a yogi

Wonderful information. I am very happy to have doing you here. I am 52 and over the years since about 21 diagnosed with IBS, Diverticulitis and Hiatal Hernia. I have managed to have these fairly well through diet, exercise, and supplements. Recently, my usual ways of handling haven’t worked as well and now waiting for over a month for test for Gastro paresis.. I’m so curious as to what the cause of that could actually be. I saw your video about it and found very interesting. I want to thank you for being in here and sharing the information you are sharing 🙏🏼

Thank you, Dr Cooper. Did I understand my primary care Dr. who said that because of my ( small) hiatal hernia, there’s acid always coming up from the stomach causing acid reflux symptoms. Any information that you have to offer would be helpful.

A hiatal hernia will permit more reflux. I wouldn’t go to the extreme of using the word always. Many small hernias are sliding and spend a fair portion of time in a normal anatomic position.

I have a sliding hiatal hernia and symptoms were under control for years but now after a period of stress and anxiety they have come back even on my ppi, which I had to increase the dose of. It was about 2cm in 2018 I really joke it didn’t grow. Oddly enough I was pretty much symptom free until now

How are u now bro... I too have it .please help me what should I do

Just wondering if it could cause food to get stuck in your throat or trouble swallowing?

i have a hiatal/hiatus hernia and i get a symptom im wondering if its related to it, or something else, basically i get a really hot feeling from the centre, between my ribs, back and front, it can also go up my neck and down my arms, i also feel sweaty at the same time but not visibly sweaty, and i can feel shivery but not a cold shiver, just the sensation of a shiver. i know, its a lot....

Hi Doc. I was recently diagnosed with a small hiatal hernia during an endoscopy. The GI doctor didn’t even mention the finding. It was on the paper work. Assuming this is a small / sliding hiatal hernia, would I be able to play basketball / lift small weights? I’m only 32 and am curious if I can play sports with my kids without risking progressing the hernia to needing surgery. I follow up with the GI doctor in a few weeks.

The vast majority of people with the condition are essentially unaffected or minimally affected by it and it won’t impact their lifestyle. I wouldn’t tell my patients with a small hernia to restrict their activity as the risk of the hernia progressing due to exercise is small and the benefits of exercise are immense (especially when it’s with your kids).

Also for people who all of a sudden are having GERD and other acid issues, if you’ve had Covid in the past this is part of what’s called long term Covid and it never goes away this is a lifetime thing and I sadly have it, I’ve lost weight cause I can’t keep food down and I’m relying on Ensure this is torture

Omg your comment hits me hard!! I start to get really bad gastric pain just after got covid and endoscopy showed small hiatal hernia that I never had just 2 years ago when I had my previous endoscopy!! You actually 100% right and I'm in so much pain on my upper left side and middle 😢

I was diagnosed with a hiatal hernia two months ago and I suffer with Gerd, constant nausea and vomiting with difficulty swallowing and a lot of times feels like my drinks or food is coming back up, I have frequent laryngitis, IBS, sleep apnea and asthma. My ENT stated my hernia came from my excessive coughing from my asthma attacks and Gerd. I have changed my diet taking Pepcid twice a day and Dexilant 60mg daily and Hyosyne when needed for stomach spasm , my gastroenterologist instructed me to loose weight even though I’ve lost 20 pounds due to lost of appetite and taste. My primary care physician have referred me to a surgeon for consultation because she is not in agreement with my gastroenterologist because it’s been two years me battling Gerd etc. any information you can give me would be greatly appreciated. I saw a few exercise videos for hernia but the exercises were the same ones I was doing for my lower back and hip pain.

hiatal hernia is a symptom usually from neurogenic weakness of one side of the diaphragm. since the diaphragm forms the valve (cardiac sphincter) which should keep stomach contents from refluxing back up the esophagus, such weakness can permit reflux to occur. there may be some therapeutics which might reduce this symptom, however, the best approach is whenever possible to correct the cause, such as restoring complete innervation by liberating the nervous system from interference.

Thank you for this, I have just been diagnosed with a Hiatal hernia the only thing is I do get tons of heart fluttering, I was wondering if it can put pressure on your vagus nerve? because my heart workups are always ok but i get alot of palpitations and pvc's the only thing I know I have is a hiatal hernia seen in my endoscopy.

@MarkCooperMD

Жыл бұрын

Good question. I would be inclined to first look at your heart and it’s exercise tolerance. Many people have more perception of PVCs over 30. I’d defer to a cardiologist for advice on how dangerous they are for you. Factors of alcohol and caffeine can contribute. A small hiatal hernia is not likely the primary trigger and more likely coincidental.

@pr0gr4m3dd

That was my very first symptom, I got sick and just had a ton of palpitations and I thought it was cause I was sick so after tons and tons of cardiac work ups I realized that anytime my heart would flutter a bunch it would be associated with burping. And when I pressed on my epigastric area I would feel a dull pain. After an endoscopy turns out I have a hiatal hernia AND Barratts esophogus which was crazy cause in in my 20s, in great shape and I never had any GERD symptoms outside of maybe a month or two ago. But yeah palpitations come and go and I know it's from the hiatal hernia even know I can never get a clear answer from a doctor. I spoke to a cardiologist, my doctor, a GI doctor. They all said maybe and it bothered me

Hi Doctor, my GI recommended I lose 40 lbs. I am 5foot 6 186 lb at time of endoscopy. I am now 174 lbs so losing weight. My question is will losing weight fix the symptoms? Or will there still be acid eroding the esophagus/increaeed risk of barrets and such. My GI says once i lose the weight we can talk surgery

I was diagnosed with a small Hiatal Hernia and whenever I drink coffee or alcohol I get severe left chest pains near my heart. I also get stabbing pains in bottom left abdomen sometimes. Had an echocardiogram of my heart and it was all good. Doctor thinks it’s cardiac neurosis but I’m not sure that it is because the pain is debilitating and also it had gone away from I couple of weeks when I cut out caffeine. Any advice for me? I’m struggling bad with the pain. I’ve had a ton of tests and I’m still in pain.

Hi doctor, I just recently got endoscopy done but was not told anything about Hiatal Hernia though occasionally I do have pain right below my left ribcage. I was told to have gastritis though. Is it possible to have Haital Hernia on some days and perhaps not at that exact moment when I was having the endoscopy? Thanks!

Everytime I breathe in deeply or I am in certain positions like laying on my side, I get sharp pains just to the left of my breast bone under my left rib cage. (I've had heart checks and all fine) barium swallow shower mild gerd, no hernia. It feels like a stitch or tightness that gets tighter under my left ribcage when I breathe. Is this a hernia symptom?

Hello Dr. After 3 endoscopy, finally found out that I have a small hiatal hernia 2cm. I have tried everything, medication, diet, breathing tecniques and I am also in good shape. Never had any problems with my weight. Still I have the taste of acid in my mouth every day, and this worris me. My doctor says, it takes years before it can cause problems with my esophagus, but it´s been like this every single day for the last 7 months, and I am really worried. I am really concidering trying to get surgery. What do you recommend? I`m desperate as my life is completly changed.
