I have a GI visit next month but I honestly can’t even wait anymore. These palpitations are so bad even the fluttering making my heart rate high. And with anxiety it makes me feel like I am having a heart attack and boom full on panic attack

@MarkCooperMD

It’s important that heart and lung issues have been excluded. There are esophageal conditions that can cause these symptoms. While waiting for GI it may help to speak with your primary team about your anxiety. Sometimes it’s the thing that most needs to be addressed. The brain is the only organ more vital than the heart and lungs, so it makes sense to think about mental health early, rather than leave it as a diagnosis of exclusion. Hope you find some relief!

My body instantly starts shaking and I feel dizzy when laying down on my bed. It feels like my whole diaphragm is tense and I have a burning pain in my back. Palpitation does also occur sometimes. I honestly cannot judge the situation completely but when I took anti acid medications all these symptoms just vanished but when taking it I get insane abdominal pain and digestion problems. It might be that I also have a gastritis which makes the situation a little more complicated. I hopefully can get an endoscopy as fast as possible.

I think upper barium swallow may be better to detect hiatal hernia because if it is a sliding hiatal hernia an endoscopy may just push stomach back down during procedure and they could miss it.I know from experience this happened to me one doctor said I had hernia first time I had endoscopy 3 years later I had it done again different but younger more inexperienced doctor said they saw no hernia .

Hello Dr Copper, great presentation. Based on my last endoscopy, I have a sliding hiatal hernia and recently developed LPR symptoms in my throat. I must be lucky? Im great shape for my age, not overwight, i.e. and I have been following a strict diet. Does LPR eventually go away or is this something serious that is caused by bacteria, i.e? To be honest, I can deal with the reflux but LPR in my throat is scary. Please advise, Thanks

Thanks for watching. You may want to review this with your ENT and GI doctor since they are managing your care. Data shows PPI doesn’t help LPR which begs whether acid reflux is its sole cause. An impedance study can show whether reflux is routinely reaching the upper esophagus.

It sounds like you have an esophageal motility issue. The acid suppression can still help by reducing how much acid bathes the esophagus - not all is felt. Unless you have had a pH study it’s hard to know if you’re not having significant esophageal acid. If a primary esophageal motility issue then management is different. It sounds like you may need a second opinion. Sorry I’m not in position to give one in this context.

I have acid reflux and my endoscopy showed a minor (5%) hiatal hernia. It didn't show anything alarming overrall. I know that hernia could cause problems but I think my reflux is more due to bloating. After I eat ANYthing, my tummy blows up like a balloon. My bf eats the exact same thing and doesn't get bloated, so it's not the food I cook. I eat well, vegetables, poultry, lean meat. I eat plain unsalted crackers to try to calm my stomach. I was taking omeprazole for years and I got nervous about its long-term affects and switched to famotidine, after a long withdrawal period. Either way I always have had bloating. I am somewhat overweight but not exceedingly so. I wish I knew how to prevent the bloating before it happens.

Inflammation of the stomach That's what the findings Just had gastroscopy and colonoscopy done yesterday I will know more next week when I see my GP for all the resulrs. I suffer stress anxieties life is too much problems we can't avoid. Palpitations too I got that I was rush to ER 2x in a month thought had a heart attack but they said my heart is fine.?!?

how its possible a surgery not needed ? if a mass of an organ above where it belongs , btw dr my grandma developed it recently out of a sudden and she has arrythmia issues with it ,doctors say to wait for heart to be stable ..but do you think heart will ever be stable if the occurance of such is quick and no finded reason

Most of the time hernias are small. Sorry you’re grandma isn’t doing well. It sounds like hers is very large - when I have seen very large hernias they tend to be in older women. Unless your grandma has prior imaging then it’s hard to estimate the time course the hernia developed. They can be well tolerated even when fairly large and then suddenly become large enough to cause complications in the chest-making them seem to develop suddenly. In the elderly arrhythmias are common, so it can be hard to be sure that the hernia is the sole cause as many other factors can also contribute.

The palpitation is not coming from the heart , but in the stomach My experienced When diagnosed by Chinese doctor

Exercise is causing mine to get worst. BMI is 27. I have a dilemma. Need to lose weight to help hernia conditions I would think through exercise, exercises causes symptoms to magnify. Over the last 2 years palpitations are nothing like they were. They happen more from esophagitis, inflammation from acid causing swelling and putting pressure on vagus nerves. Over time I would do the pushdown stomach method. Which has help from stomach being so pushed up in esophagus. A chiropractor may can help repositioning stomach. Also sitting up during sleeping will help; although I dont have alot of experience. I dont think our bodies were made for standing and sleeping!

Same also having these issues and I’m 22 and I don’t know what is causing all this and it’s horrible

How do you improve it besides eating smaller meals?

I feel like surgery is gonna be the only way because I’ve tried so many things and nothing works. It’s depressing.

You ALL talk about reflux, but I can't get a full breath. Can you help me?

See a chiropractor who knows how to pull hernia down

🙏🏻😊

My hiatus/hiatle hernia has gotten so bad that almost every swallow of food I take I'm worried I'm going to choke to death, unable to breathe because of food clogging my passageways. It sucks being old, working below the poverty level in a red, non-Medicaid-Expansion state (SC). IN THE MEANTIME, my blender is helping, lol.

If your esophagus is weak it may be a big part of the problem.

YOU most likely have LPR (Silent Reflux) caused by Pepsin from the stomach moving up into your Larynx

I had a ping pong ball-sized lump right where my chest meets the top of my abs, directly in the center. With my shirt off it looked like a ping pong ball half jammed into my xyphoid area. 2 months ago i slipped in the shower and banged my chest into the tub. I got up, felt fine, not even sore or bruised. A few days later i started to feel like i was getting pneumonia. I felt like i wasnt getting air. No matter how deep i breathed i felt like i was suffocating. After a week it was so bad i went to the ER and they said my vitals are fine and the xray is fine and to see my PCP. Since im poor i have no PCP, but i just realized that for a couple weeks i noticed this esophagus hernia disappeared. After 8 years it is no longer visible and i cant feel it. Im wondering if that fall a few months ago jammed that hernia ball into my diaphragm and makes it feel like its hard to breathe. Is that a thing?

Mine makes me nauseous every.single.morning. Puking and some more. Can’t wait to get mine fixed but they are making me wait till august 24th. American healthcare for ya

Wondering did you go through with surgery? If so how did it go?

I dont really want to have surgery and at the same time i have allergies to PPI meds. How lucky is that? Ive lost a lot of weight and will continue to. I'm taking herbal remedies, eating clean. No caffiene or acidic foods. I flipping miss my coffee lol. I will give this a little more time but im obviously worried.
