interesting and great video, just been diagnosed with a Hiatal Hernia ( in the last month ) have spend the last 3 years getting heart palpation's often when i lean forward or twist badly,( sat at a lap top can often set it off) trouble swallowing, shortness of breath and light headiness but I hardly get any reflux, tho i can have some days where the symptoms just disappear, trying to get my doctor to take it seriously over here in the UK as been a struggle and it has become very tiring. next stop for me is to try to play about with my diet as often within 1 hour of eating the symptoms can come on, bread looks like it can make things a whole lot worst, shame we don't have clinics like yours hear in the UK

I absolutely love what you do Vikki, thankyou for all your knowledge. Im in Australia and have just been told i have a 6cm hiatus hernia. I so wish i could get over to see you. I don't get hardly any reflux but certainly get pain and discomfort after eating and a nauseated feeling. Im almost scared to eat😔. I wish so much you had a clinic over here or one day i can get to you.

Your videos are great but the title says how to treat it not how to diagnose it.

I have a mild hiatal hernia and just got diagnosed with sibo.

I can't believe I have never been told about this before. I have been struggling with symptoms for 3 years. Severe symptoms. Been rushed to A and E at hospital several times with an elevated heart rate and chest pain. I was told they could find nothing wrong. They then said it was all in my head. So, I've been looking for solutions to work it out. I knew it was coming from the gut . I've said to the "Dr's many times. So thank you for the information. I can trace the process of my illness from start to finish and I now know how it happened. 💯 ❤

Great video Doctor THANKYOU...i live in the uk- diagnosed with 6cm HH... my quality of life is going down day by day- its that bad my children have bought litter pickers rather than me bend , the sweat oozes out of me , i go light headed- then the heart rate goes through the roof..... i was sent to a psychiatrist ( he told me i didnt need a psychiatrist any more than himself, and urged me to insist i get it fixed- that was 2 years ago- i know its got larger because i can only eat the smallest of food- the bowel issues too...

headaches and nausea are the worst

I have a large hiatal hernia. For a long time - I take 1/2 tsp baking soda whenever I feel the acid reflux. I know it’s a short term fix. But is that ok compared to PPIs? I’m thrilled to have found your work and will be exploring in much more depth. Thankyou.

@DrVikkiPetersen

My pleasure. Baking soda is 100% better than a PPI, which has many dangerous side effects. I have some videos on the topic of PPIs if you want to get some more data. But even better would be to resolve why your stomach is spasmed. Is you stomach above your diaphragm by much or just a large hiatal hernia? If you stomach isn't substantially above your diaphragm we could offer some help.

@@DrVikkiPetersen from an earlier scan apparently the hernia is intrathoracic stomach which I have been told means most of my stomach is in my diaphragm. I just had an endoscopy and the hernia is 5 cm. Waiting on some biopsy results. I am hopeful I can avoid surgery still. I have more recently discovered I have SIBO, leaky gut and high inflammation. And a lot of food sensitivities. So am working on all that very diligently.

Hi Dr. Petersen, diagnosed with HH 30+ yrs ago... no treatment offered... 3 years ago put on PPI. After 1 yr went off and did over the counter as needed. Gained 30+ lbs and acid reflex turned into Gerd and Barretts Esophagus. Dr. says PPI for rest of my life. Want to get off PPIs ASAP. Changed my eating and losing weight.

My husband has a hernia sticking out so far it looks like he has an alien in him.

Have a very small sliding hiatle hernia. Have sore throat, bad breath. But the constipation is the worst part. Doing everything my doc says, he does not think the hernia is the cause but I do. No I dont want surgery,, as I already have a pralyzed vocal chord.

If you have been tested for acid reflux does this mean you have hiatal hernia? Do they both go hand in hand? Or can you have acid reflux without having hiatal hernia?

@DrVikkiPetersen

7 ай бұрын

You can have acid reflux without a hiatal hernia in the early days, but as it progresses the sheer pressure of the stomach on the diaphragm is likely to lead to a hiatal hernia of some sort.

My son is in the hospital right from vomiting. He was diagnosed with Hiatal Hernia 3 years ago. For the first couple of years we spend most of the time in the hospital. It slowed down to every 6 months. When he have an episode he’s back in the hospital. The doctors do not know how to treat him. He on psychiatric medication for saying he want to kill himself because he can’t live like this. He’s not getting little treatment for his vomiting problem. What can I do????😢
