Thank you for sharing this important info ... I do have a hiatus hernia, so of great interest. I've noticed something that seems to be a new symptom. If I eat to fast (I tend to eat very fast if I'm late getting a meal), or if I eat too large a meal, I get pain in my chest, and heart palpitations like AFIB but it generally goes away in a few hours. I'm about 30 lbs over ideal weight, and making an effort to lose, but it's harder at age 79. I researched and found that eating too fast or too much does engage the heart more, so now I try to avoid that pitfall. Thank you for all that you do to research and share information. It is greatly appreciated.
Unbelievable information. The funny thing is, I've figured out some of this on my own simply by paying attention to what I eat, how much I eat, when a-fib occurs correspondingly to what and how I eat, are symptoms made worse if I have reflux, etc. Thank you for posting this vitally important information.
Your videos have been such a great help to allow me to understand more about heart rhythm disturbances. You have such a wonderful way of explaining and reassuring those of us who are experiencing these issues. You really are a wonderful doctor and the community is blessed to have you.
I began taking magnesium which made a huge improvement but still noticed after a largr meal at night i would feel heart flutters. Im going to check into hiatal hernia. Thanks man!
Hi I had the procedure done for my Afib and thought things were going to be better. But no i still have the breathing problems going up stairs or other things. My breathing gets hard and my stomach hurts . After seeing your video, I think that you are right. Got a appointment Friday with my cardiologist to discuss it. Thanks so much. Will let you know. 😊
I appreciate all the knowledge you share for the world concerning the heart, and the stomach. Blocked gas can also cause palps. My issue is my heart beats harder or faster at night when laying down. I have difficulty passing gas, or belching, and I get bloated. I also have alot of reflux. Thank you so much.
Thank you very much for this important information and I have lived the fears most of my life because nobody ever explain the stuff to me thank you!!! Your AWESOME!!!
I just found your video and I will be having surgery next week on my esophagus and hiatal hernia that no one and that includes Mayo said a thing about my strokes but preferred to put me on expensive drugs. I am more encouraged than ever to get it done. Thank you!
After I listened to professor Steven porges talk about the polyvagus theory....I figured after listening that eating while distracted you aren't triggering your rest and digest response...I started being fully engaged with my food....my GERD disappeared. Helps enormously.
It is so good to have expert advice from you being a professional doctor consultant.You explain in an easy way so everyone can understand.It is valuable information which is a great help .For you to take the time to do this I am so grateful and appreciate it. Thank you for video and blessings and greetings .x
I have hiatal hernia and GERD, when my stomach is acting up, I get my PVC. When my stomach is good, my PVC is gone. There is certainly a link between the stomach and the heart. Unfortunately there is just not enough studies and there are no specialists that specialize in both the GI and Heart.
Sam Wong when i had an endoscopy few years ago my stomach problems worsened, ,they saw on the monitor a lump in stomach,,they took a biopsy and discovered it wasn't stomach cancer but a hiatus hernia. .osophagitus reflux etc..I've been on 15mg lansoprazole for many years. .can't eat or drink ANYTHING without the lansoprazole (ppi ) and bicarbonate of soda occasionally. .after the biopsy and endoscopy the situation has worsened. .endoscopy has in my case worsened the situation. .i get afib occasionally, ,I'm partially disabled and incapacitated and can't do hardly any exercise but try a bit each day..hope and pray the LORD JESUS CHRIST will have mercy on us ALL and heal us..😢
Thankyou so much for your kindness in sharing your vast information. I have barratts oesophagus and am on P.P.I.s. I also have a hiatus hernia. I have jumping of my heart which sometimes goes up into my throat so your video has been very helpful. Thankyou again.
I always get pvc and occassionally afib while im eating. Eating has become a terrible thing for me now. Perhaps i even have developed a phobia for it now. Its terrible.
Thank you for sharing your knowledge and experience with us, your information was very interesting. I wanted to send this clip to my mum who has AF and a huge hiatal hernia. She would be extremely interested in the information, however she has hearing problems and uses the caption function, as do our Deaf community. Please review the captions on this clip as they are not correct with the spoken word and a lot of the time don't make sense. These issues are important. I would've loved to send this to mum. ☹️
Thankyou so much this is interesting video I was diagnosed with AF in 2009. But have for years suffered from heartburn and had a stroke in 2011 aged 48yrs
Food usually makes me feel better I’m having more palpitations when fasting but i don’t know if there’s a correlation yet still trying to figure things out.
Dear Dr over the last 6 weeks I began to experience regular Afib every other day. I was placed on eliquis while ongoing tests were conducted. Endoscopy,gastroscopie and sent to see endocrinologist. Blood levels showed high calcium levels and high parathyroid levels. Hatial hernia was reported. I was given Motilium for ten days. Afib stopped immediately as from the first day This lead my GP to believe the hernia was causing the AFib however I also had a scan of the parathyroid which showed an increase in size. My GP now believes it’s either the parathyroid and high calcium causing the AFib or the Hatial Hernia. I was then given a very small dose of bisopropol 1;25 mg a day which also stopped all Afib. Given the low dosage my GP still favours the HAtial hernia as the cause. Treatment suggested was reduction of the parathyroid gland via op as very important and eventually in time an op to fix the HAitial hernia. Amazing that I came across your video very much appreciated.of course this was all done with the guidance of a cardiologist.
My nan had hiatal hernia and afib. Nans afib was untreated and she had heart attack and stroke and died. Her son, my dad, had afib and stomach issues from mastocytosis. He died of bone cancer. I have blood allergies and PAF.
I too have always felt that my afib was stomach related as I have reflux and when I have a bad case of it, I feel my heart out of control and often go into afib. Cardiologist has always told me not to be so silly in thinking this.
Oh my God, you are God sent! I have hiatal hernia, extrasystoles thanks to it and I think I have developed either afib or atrial flutter in the last 3 years. My heart is perfectly healthy, but I do use calcium channel blockers (for my ectopics) as I'm now 4 months pregnant and my cardiologist prescribed it to me to make my symptoms less frequent. Is there any other advice how to keep hiatal hernia (and ectopics and afib) under control, at least during the pregnancy, to make it more manageable for me? Xx
I have a moderate Hiatal Hernia and developed AFib afterwards. Now I need to have Catheter Ablation this Feb 14, 2024. I don’t want surgery. Shall I try to lose some weight. I’m only slightly overweight by 8-10 pounds but have a very small frame so maybe it harms me more…this slight weight gain.
Hi dr .. thank you for all your videos I find them to be very informative .. I’m currently age 51 and I’ve been pretty healthy . No diabetes , no high blood pressure , however I’ve noticed the past 4 years that I’ve been struggling with anxiety attacks that come out of no where and usually happens the day of and or day before I’m about to start my menstural cycle . I have these sensations that feel like an anxiety attack where it usually starts to feel like fluttering at the vagus nerve right under my breasts or at the top part of the abdomen and then it will cause my heart to beat too fast . When that vagus nerve starts to flutter per se I feel shortness of breath then like my heart starts to beat too fast and I can feel skipping in the rythm of my heart and then my nerves start to shake like an anxiety attack . I get nausea , I get headaches and so on I’m either vomiting or on the toilet . I’m dizzy and just feel so weak . All muscles hurt because they were tight. usually those feelings subside right after my mensturation starts usually that day or the next day . However the shaking inside my nerves continues . Then goes away mildly . I get that sensation again on the last day of my menstural cycle but much milder. I once was given Xanax because they thought it was grief because I saw my dad die 4 years ago but I can sit here and tell you all about it and not fall apart and all so it is not that at all . I believe it is the vagus vein nerve or whatever and something to do with my hormones yet no one is able to tell me anything except oh my hormones are messed up . Or oh my cortisol is high .. oh I have 19 nodules in my lungs and I have 9 in my thyroid so I believe all that plays a part of these anxiety sensations I get . Any suggestions on where I may look to get help I’ve spoken to an endocrinologist and they just always want to focus on diabetes and all and I don’t have diabetes . I think these dr s may not know how to treat hormones or anything . I just within this past year found out I have fluid in the sack of my heart . I have also been taking omeprazole for my heartburn for a good possibly 2 1/2 years . I know you mentioned in one of your videos about that causing a negative effect on magnesium and iron and so forth . I do have severe anemia as well and they haven’t done anything for me on that either . Maybe can you give me a bit of your knowledge and advice because I’m not getting answers in my doctors . Look forward to hearing from you thank you for your time . Sabrina Rose
Sometimes I will get bouts of what feel like ectopics. It seems to be related to my posture /GERD but not always. I’ll have one, then quickly another, and another. Sometimes for up to 5 minutes. It between the ectopics, there are some normal beats, but not many during these “episodes”. My overall heart rate elevates as well- but i also panic when I get so many at once. My question is- how can I know if this is just an episode of close together ectopics, or a fib? I am 23 and had an echo 3 years ago that was normal, I also had two ekgs within the last year that were normal. But my ectopics have never been recorded since they’re often random.
Hai I'm from india ,tamilnadu Coimbatore,I too have this problem and faced 4 times ,my heart runs 256 per minute at that time ,but it happens only wen stomach get some disturbed like heart burning or feel like it's full,but doctors not accept my words ,they told me to go for catheter ablation ,is ther any other options , please any ones suggestion
i don’t have afib that i know of. but i do notice my pvcs and pots symptoms seem to be connected to my GERD. i had an egd not long ago so i know i don’t have a hernia.
A-fib started when I was wearing tight pants and sitting at a desk all day. When I would move the waist band down it would stop. Whenever I wear something really tight around waist it would happen. Then it started happened more often, even without tight pants… does this sound like Hiatal Hernia to you?
Hi dr gubta,I have contacted you about a year ago regarding atrial fib and you did answered me back thank you for that.on the 5.12.17 I went to st George's in london to have a catheter ablation i was lookig forward to it. I went under general anaesthesia but dr zia zobiri could not do the procedure as he found that i have left atrial myxoma 2cm and i am very upset and worried about this. I can't believe they never noticed it when i had an echogram about 6 mounths ago . All this time i was thinking i had paraxysmal atrial fib but everyone was wrong. I am very worried about this.
Thank you so much for your comment and for watching the video. Please join me for live free chats on my Facebook page (type yorkcardiology@gmail.com in Facebook search) - I will be able to answer your questions there
yea count me as 1 of the status.told my Dr bloated after only 1 meal causing my afib. he never heard of anything related in medical records. 5 yrs later at 55 still taking afib meds. maybe I should check for hernia. would rather do a lariat procedure than ablation treatment. only if not a hernia an i get to choose out of the 2..
My Dr won't let me have surgery on hernia. I have worked hard all my life.. doing alot of heavy lifting. I worked construction.... I had an ablation but still don't feel real good... I have had reflux for years..... Meds don't help no matter what I eat.. if I over eat the when go to bed heart beating in chest bad gas bloating can't sleep restless fluttering..etc....on metroprol... Going back to Dr. In two weeks....r toss and turn can't sleep alot....
My Afib is always accompanied by burping. I suspect hiatus hernia but the GI doc said he couldn’t tell if I had one when he did the endoscopy. He said it didn’t matter!
Sue Newberry sorry I misspelled. I had a barium study I had to drink that withe things than I had a X Ray. And find the hernia. Not with the endoscopy. I had before but they didn’t picked up. 🤗
Hi I am very worried I’ve had wolf Parkinson white syndrome and had a ablation 5 months ago it was succeful I also am having this skipped beat for a few second often and don’t know if this is AFib or pvc if it’s pvc can it lead to heart failure cause I had a Echocardiogram they said it was okay and normal but I had wpw is isn’t this a birth defect and congenital heart diseases which can lead to heart failure or not please reply wehnether you can even for a month until you reply I’m so worried.
Speaking of Anti acid medication and PPI, when I take too much, by too much meaning in a longer length of time such as over a week, I start getting PVCs. I guess when my acid is too low, I get PVCS. As a matter of faces, the PVCs are worst when my acid is low vs high.
I had wolf Parkinson white syndrome can you make a vidoe after a wpw recovery and heal process and AFib with wolf Parkinson after wpw ablation and reason
Because I had this a year ago and had a succefull Ablation 5 months ago and still having palpitation and little irregular heartbeat and I am very worried can you make a vidoe based on wpw and my include my points cause there no proper UA-cam vidoe to understand
Wow I get arythmia in early morning when I eat late night snacks, resulting in sour stomach too... i also have an inguinal and a slight little hiatal spot around belly button. What to do??
Well the paper shows a giant hernia that clearly is right next to the atrium. But in another video you say that eating is a common trigger for afib, and I didn’t hear a qualification of hernia there. Those numbers (17x) sound too arbitrarily extreme. You only find case reports of giant hernias wrt afib, like this: Paroxysmal Postprandial Atrial Fibrilation Suppressed by Laparoscopic Repair of a Giant Paraesophageal Hernia Compressing the Left Atrium, 2015 Strangely the Roy paper doesn’t show up, case reports preferred on google scholar, if I don’t type the author. Their hospital data says that 7% of the HH population had afib, with average age 73. That sounds like a very normal afib proportion for old people, since afib is extremely common with age. It sounds low actually. Over 65s are supposed to have 10% afib. Nobody else is claiming to show that hernia results in a significant increase in afib, other than the Roy paper. There is a very slight increase (risk 1.1 or so) for Gerd. Hospitalized people will have higher incidence of any disease/comorbidity, vs a general healthy population. If you want to do proper risk analysis you need to look at a common population and check how many have hernia, afib, or both. Which they could have done with their hospital data so I don’t know why they would compare to a general population statistic. This study is done wrong. I would say deliberately, because it’s obvious to compare the rate of afib in the hernia population vs afib in the no-hernia population in the same dataset. This paper is a scam: Ranjini R Roy et al, Hiatal Hernia Is Associated With an Increased Prevalence of Atrial Fibrillation in Young Patients, 2013
weldone but u are not answer my question i have palpitations 100 per minute my bp 130 / 80/ 70 i am on antenolol tenormin 50 mg take one daily is it ok

I learned more from you than from my cardiologist thank you
Me too! Thanks doctor.
Where is this wonderful doc now
Your videos have been such a great help to allow me to understand more about heart rhythm disturbances. You have such a wonderful way of explaining and reassuring those of us who are experiencing these issues. You really are a wonderful doctor and the community is blessed to have you.
Thank you. I wish someone would have told me all this when I was in my 30's.
I began taking magnesium which made a huge improvement but still noticed after a largr meal at night i would feel heart flutters. Im going to check into hiatal hernia. Thanks man!
Yes, I also feel palpitations ,headache after huge meal are due to lack of magnesium or potassium
Yes, it's due to lack of magnesium
Hi I had the procedure done for my Afib and thought things were going to be better. But no i still have the breathing problems going up stairs or other things. My breathing gets hard and my stomach hurts . After seeing your video, I think that you are right. Got a appointment Friday with my cardiologist to discuss it. Thanks so much. Will let you know. 😊
What did you find out?
I appreciate all the knowledge you share for the world concerning the heart, and the stomach. Blocked gas can also cause palps. My issue is my heart beats harder or faster at night when laying down. I have difficulty passing gas, or belching, and I get bloated. I also have alot of reflux. Thank you so much.
Blocked gas is it for sure, after I burp a lot of times palpitations go away and heart gets smoother
glad to see someone is addressing this issue as I do definitely have this exact issue and it really messes up my life
Glad to see the UA-cam videos are back more often again
Thank you very much for this important information and I have lived the fears most of my life because nobody ever explain the stuff to me thank you!!! Your AWESOME!!!
Interesting, all my AFIB episode’s come after eating
it happens to me too ..so i try and avoid the worst offending foods i.e. bread, cakes, alcohol etc., if i stick to fruit and veg mostly then i'm fine.
I just found your video and I will be having surgery next week on my esophagus and hiatal hernia that no one and that includes Mayo said a thing about my strokes but preferred to put me on expensive drugs. I am more encouraged than ever to get it done. Thank you!
After I listened to professor Steven porges talk about the polyvagus theory....I figured after listening that eating while distracted you aren't triggering your rest and digest response...I started being fully engaged with my food....my GERD disappeared. Helps enormously.
I know you wrote it 3 years ago, but maybe you will explain how did you rid of Gerd? Please!!!
It is so good to have expert advice from you being a professional doctor consultant.You explain in an easy way so everyone can understand.It is valuable information which is a great help .For you to take the time to do this I am so grateful and appreciate it.

@@nopretribrapture2318 Get your magnesium level tested PPI cause low magnesium which cause AFIB
I definitely found this video helpful. Amazing! Thank you. 😊
Thankyou so much for your kindness in sharing your vast information. I have barratts oesophagus and am on P.P.I.s. I also have a hiatus hernia. I have jumping of my heart which sometimes goes up into my throat so your video has been very helpful. Thankyou again.
Thank you 🙏
I always get pvc and occassionally afib while im eating. Eating has become a terrible thing for me now. Perhaps i even have developed a phobia for it now. Its terrible.
I hear you same thing happened to me! Almost choked on my food that came up and stuck in my throat!!!

I got my diagnosis through this video today..... Thank you
Thanks Dr Gupta
I shall look into this. Thank you
Thankyou so much this is interesting video I was diagnosed with AF in 2009.
But have for years suffered from heartburn and had a stroke in 2011 aged 48yrs
Was it due to the afib? I pray you're doing better now 💕🙏💕🙏
Good to know that there is a correlation. People can get surgery, have it treated and not suffer🙄
great video.
Food usually makes me feel better I’m having more palpitations when fasting but i don’t know if there’s a correlation yet still trying to figure things out.

You’re amazing doctor! Thank you!
Thank you so much! I think that's what I have and my doctors fail to diagnose.
You always have great information! Thank-you so much!
My nan had hiatal hernia and afib. Nans afib was untreated and she had heart attack and stroke and died. Her son, my dad, had afib and stomach issues from mastocytosis. He died of bone cancer. I have blood allergies and PAF.
I have always mentioned to my Dr. that I felt myrelux and PVC were related. Now I have Afib
I too have always felt that my afib was stomach related as I have reflux and when I have a bad case of it, I feel my heart out of control and often go into afib. Cardiologist has always told me not to be so silly in thinking this.
How are you doing today?
Xtremely usefull.
Prior to retiring I had a big bowl or Jasmine rice with back eyed peas. The next morning I was in AFib. Could the excess food cause my A Fib?

awesome thanks
Brilliant thank you
Sometimes I will get bouts of what feel like ectopics. It seems to be related to my posture /GERD but not always. I’ll have one, then quickly another, and another. Sometimes for up to 5 minutes.

There`s a world of folks out there that are between 50 and 85 that are diagnosed with A-fib.. why did the study skip over them?
Hai I'm from india ,tamilnadu Coimbatore,I too have this problem and faced 4 times ,my heart runs 256 per minute at that time ,but it happens only wen stomach get some disturbed like heart burning or feel like it's full,but doctors not accept my words ,they told me to go for catheter ablation ,is ther any other options , please any ones suggestion
What is the treatment for hiatus hernia? I have a small one and also have Afib. Thank you.
Im taking antacid pill everyday. The kroger brand is cheap and works. That with a magnesium pill everyday i am symptom free.
could, a swollen speen, kidneys, and liver cause pressure on the heart that may result in Afib and/or tachichardia?
i don’t have afib that i know of. but i do notice my pvcs and pots symptoms seem to be connected to my GERD. i had an egd not long ago so i know i don’t have a hernia.
A-fib started when I was wearing tight pants and sitting at a desk all day. When I would move the waist band down it would stop. Whenever I wear something really tight around waist it would happen.

yea count me as 1 of the status.told my Dr bloated after only 1 meal causing my afib.
he never heard of anything related in medical records.
5 yrs later at 55 still taking afib meds.
maybe I should check for hernia.
would rather do a lariat procedure than ablation treatment. only if not a hernia an i get to choose out of the 2..
My Dr won't let me have surgery on hernia. I have worked hard all my life.. doing alot of heavy lifting. I worked construction.... I had an ablation but still don't feel real good... I have had reflux for years..... Meds don't help no matter what I eat.. if I over eat the when go to bed heart beating in chest bad gas bloating can't sleep restless fluttering..etc....on metroprol... Going back to Dr. In two weeks....r toss and turn can't sleep alot....
June 2022 I began having a afib but have had digestive issues many years, what have you found out since you posted this message ?
Is an endoscopy the only way of diagnozing a hiatus hernia?
Mine was discovered with a barium swallow and I notice the same for a couple of other people.
My Afib is always accompanied by burping. I suspect hiatus hernia but the GI doc said he couldn’t tell if I had one when he did the endoscopy. He said it didn’t matter!
Sue Newberry My hiatus hernia was discovered when I had a barium steady 🤗
Sue Newberry sorry I misspelled. I had a barium study I had to drink that withe things than I had a X Ray. And find the hernia. Not with the endoscopy. I had before but they didn’t picked up. 🤗
I have the same
Hi I am very worried I’ve had wolf Parkinson white syndrome and had a ablation 5 months ago it was succeful I also am having this skipped beat for a few second often and don’t know if this is AFib or pvc if it’s pvc can it lead to heart failure cause I had a Echocardiogram they said it was okay and normal but I had wpw is isn’t this a birth defect and congenital heart diseases which can lead to heart failure or not please reply wehnether you can even for a month until you reply I’m so worried.
Speaking of Anti acid medication and PPI, when I take too much, by too much meaning in a longer length of time such as over a week, I start getting PVCs. I guess when my acid is too low, I get PVCS. As a matter of faces, the PVCs are worst when my acid is low vs high.
PPI CAUSES LOW MAGNESIUM TEST YOUR MAGNESIUM TAKE IV MAGNESIUM
I had wolf Parkinson white syndrome can you make a vidoe after a wpw recovery and heal process and AFib with wolf Parkinson after wpw ablation and reason
Because I had this a year ago and had a succefull Ablation 5 months ago and still having palpitation and little irregular heartbeat and I am very worried can you make a vidoe based on wpw and my include my points cause there no proper UA-cam vidoe to understand
How to talk with you bro please reply
why do I feel pulse in stomach! I read it is really dangerous.it has mad my life extremely miserable.
Wow I get arythmia in early morning when I eat late night snacks, resulting in sour stomach too... i also have an inguinal and a slight little hiatal spot around belly button.
What to do??
Listening to your vids in bed. Great.
👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻❤️
Is it hiatal or hiatus?? It has to be hiatal.
Hiatus is the site at which the hernia occurs; hiatal is the adjective form of hiatus, used to describe the hernia.
Well the paper shows a giant hernia that clearly is right next to the atrium. But in another video you say that eating is a common trigger for afib, and I didn’t hear a qualification of hernia there.
Those numbers (17x) sound too arbitrarily extreme.
You only find case reports of giant hernias wrt afib, like this:
Paroxysmal Postprandial Atrial Fibrilation Suppressed by Laparoscopic Repair of a Giant Paraesophageal Hernia Compressing the Left Atrium, 2015
Strangely the Roy paper doesn’t show up, case reports preferred on google scholar, if I don’t type the author.
Their hospital data says that 7% of the HH population had afib, with average age 73. That sounds like a very normal afib proportion for old people, since afib is extremely common with age. It sounds low actually. Over 65s are supposed to have 10% afib.
Nobody else is claiming to show that hernia results in a significant increase in afib, other than the Roy paper. There is a very slight increase (risk 1.1 or so) for Gerd.
Hospitalized people will have higher incidence of any disease/comorbidity, vs a general healthy population.
If you want to do proper risk analysis you need to look at a common population and check how many have hernia, afib, or both.
Which they could have done with their hospital data so I don’t know why they would compare to a general population statistic. This study is done wrong. I would say deliberately, because it’s obvious to compare the rate of afib in the hernia population vs afib in the no-hernia population in the same dataset.
This paper is a scam:
Ranjini R Roy et al, Hiatal Hernia Is Associated With an Increased Prevalence of Atrial Fibrillation in Young Patients, 2013
weldone but u are not answer my question i have palpitations 100 per minute my bp 130 / 80/ 70 i am on antenolol tenormin 50 mg take one daily is it ok

Burps will often set off an episode.
