I THANK GOD, that there are Doctors like you who bring us useful information life this. For it just happened that I starting getting these symptoms (even though I been suffering off and on with gastrointestinal issues and heart palpitations for quit awhile know) that feels like I can breath and my heart is beating hard in my chest, along with a burning sensation running down the middle of my chest. Yes, my gastroenterologist suspects that I have a Hiatal Hernia (even though they haven't sent a scope down my throat quite yet to confirm it. I think it's an insurance thing because I was told that they can do it at the same time when I'm do for my colonoscopy. Which I think is another year from now)

My son doesn’t have a hernia : at least in his last scope they didn’t see one. But he just went to the emergency room when he woke up just exactly what you described. I have a hiatal hernia and I’ve had these exact same symptoms. I’m so thankful I found this channel. 🙏 I’m in Ma . I wish you were closer .

I had my first attack when I was 17…I’m 54 now. When my symptoms start, it’s burning and it ends up feeling like what imagine a heart attack feels like. Its is sooo horribly painful, I lose my breath and can barely talk. The only thing that works for me is chewing up a handful of antacids and a glass of milk. My father had a hiatal hernia and that was his go to and it works like a charm.

It can cause Atrial fibrillation too. I am totally convinced if that, if I lift something heavy and get over tired my heart rhythm goes al, over the p,ace the same as it dies if stomach acid is bad..

Thank you for the video. I now feel that okay these attacks are normal. These anxieties and all is what I feel and would think this is so abnormal.

Can a hiatal hernia cause the pyloric valve to stay open or open at wrong times? I hear so much about the symptom of acid reflux and I know the bile can mix with stomach acid and go up the esophagus. But it's still a different valve that's involved. And I can't find anything that saying anything about hiatal hernia causing the pyloric valve to malfunction.

I have a hiatal hernia and just started doing hormone therapy can this make it worse? I’m in menopause now. Thank you

Something I'd definitly recomend for anyone struggling with this is getting checked for h pylori. I got this nasty bacteria from some fast food takeaway while at uni and I started getting hiatal hernia attacks regularlly and both times the fecal test failed. it wasn't until they took a sample while doing a endoscope that it was proven I had this. Since having those anti biotics in September 2021 my attacks have gotten less common and life has slowly began to return to normal. exercise and hot drinks have definitly helped this issue and I have found that acid inhibators only made this worse and I had to keep being given higher and higher doses until I cut them.

Was the H Pylori infection causing the hiatal hernia attacks? Once the H Pylori was under control, have your attacks stopped?

I'm wondering if my acid reflux and attacks are because of bacteria/H pylori, as well. It started almost three months ago after a bout of food poisoning. Never any previous digestive/heartburn problems. I have an endoscopy scheduled in May, and I am going to ask if I will be tested for it.

H. PYLORI. That's what happened to me. It went on for like 8 months months bc they did a shitty fecal test that came up negative and was only diagnosed when I got an endoscopy.

I had a hiatel hurnia and eso motility prob those 2 together felt like I was going to die. Just got my hurnia repaired w/ fundoplication feel about 80 better . Expect no cure for motility prob 50% working. And that's sad 😢 but surviving wish I had more answers on the motility but I don't think their is a answer. Just wonder if undiagnosed hiatel hurnia caused my motility prob? . I must have had it for years till it destroyed my eso. Had lots of endoscopy but no one said I had a hurnia till finally found a gi who cared. I'm taking your number thank u for sharing.

I have hernia, is being tired all the time a symptom of it?

Now i have new symptoms like when laying down my Hr is low but when standing i have HR higher. Been in and out of ER. I gave up. No one knows what it is. As i mentioned in the other video, having Hiatal Hernia, Mild Scoliosis, Gerd. Living with chest pain and throat and neck dryness. Difficult swallowing. Some says its Pots some says its just the hernia acting up. 😢

Has anyone ever experience restricted blood flow with this? I am trying to naturally resolve my hernia with exercise and weight loss. However I am having an odd symptom, generally (not always) when I lay on my back (even with pillow wedge) to go to sleep shortly after I fall asleep I wake up to my diaphragm area and sometimes arm or hand being numb. Went to the ER one night because it freaked me out, they confirmed hernia on X-ray but couldn't confirm the symptoms. Heart/lungs all looked good and I assume this issue is directly related since it only began happening when the hernia began really bothering me. Just curious as I don't see that particular symptom mentioned anywhere when researching! Really grateful for this channel as it has been tremendously helpful on this journey, I hope you're one day able to service MS as well!

Can a Hiatal Hernia keep blood pressure high? I thought it was sleep apnea, but my doctor said that I don’t have it through testing. I also have diverticulosis. Not sure if they are connected.

Antacids can cause elevated blood pressure, so too can an imbalanced gut microbiome. Since both are often taking place with a hiatal hernia, my answer is yes.

Because the stomach is not in its proper place ANYTHING that you ingest causes problems.

Can hernia Hiatal cause burning/ acidity/pain in the tongue and inside cheeks? Both of my inside (salivary glands?) are swollen and burn like open flesh. I have all symptoms of HH but so far no one had mentioned those symptoms in the mouth. Could it be related? My GI suggested an endoscopy but it is incredibly expensive.

Save the money. For sure it’s the hernia. The acid is getting into your mouth.

It feels like acid reflux then it starts to become a heavy pain that moves up into your neck. You feel like you’re having a heart attack, you start sweating profusely and want to throw up. It lasts about 20 minutes or more. In the past I was able to stop it with ice cream but that’s a lousy idea. Lol

@@Abo_Oudai Your doctor is not very knowledgeable. The hernia aggravates the vagus nerve which runs from the head through the body. Anytime someone has a hernia and it's sliding around in there, it's out of allignment. For sure it's going to cause the vagus nerves to go haywire as the stomach itself is covered all over in the vagus nerve. You need to get your stomach back in its proper place. Then all the symptoms will go away. Do diaphragm breathing which makes room for the stomach to slip back down or go to a chiropractor to get them to get it down or get surgery. Mine is stuck and I want surgery but it's very hard to get a doctor to do it here in Canada. Good luck my friend.
