  • Hiatal Hernia Syndrome can be composed of a variety of symptoms that are severe and can result in visits to the ER. Most often patients I meet have had one or more ER visits because they were convinced they were having a heart attack.
    Once that's ruled out, patients are often then diagnosed with anxiety and put on dangerous medications.
    Almost standardly the patient is minimally given an acid blocker like omeprazole, which unfortunately can be the exact wrong treatment since their problem isn't due to true excess acid.
    Some of the symptoms found in Hiatal Hernia Syndrome are as follows:
    Acid reflux or GERD
    Bloating, Gas
    Anxiety
    Panic Attacks
    Heart palpitations and chest pain
    Pressure in chest
    Fatigue
    Insomnia
    Constipation or Diarrhea
    Shortness of breath
    Trouble swallowing or a sore throat
    Tingling in hands or feet
    Burping
    Symptoms worsen when bending over
    and more...
    What's important is to get to the true root cause of the problem and with that accomplished the problem can be fully remedied.

    TY for posting this information. I'm absolutely in tears rn. Everything described here is/was something I've experienced. For DECADES! Diagnosed with GERD, obesity, depression, etc. Lab tests, diagnostic imaging, etc. I made sure to share this with my GI nurse practitioner bc this video puts in words all the things I could not. ❤

    I feel l found a miracle in this lady! Reddit has a group where people vent and trade suggestions . YES, I have read that endoscopy has caused harm in various ways...going for ANY medical procedure has its chances . How could we even prove it? Sadly, l'm living on very low income...TG I have Medicaid. My greatest wish is to see a functional medicine doc, but that is not reality for me. I love my UA-cam Army. They've taught me so, so much. Another thing is: what is the function of your PCP? They do NOTHING, only the barest of a physical, only hand out referrals. "What is this world coming to!?", said everyone's Grandmother, Mother, and now..ME!😊 Be well, friend!

    I thought I was both crazy and dying but when I threw up this morning I started looking for answers on my own and found your channel. I was never ever told about any of these rogue symptoms of my hiatal hernia. While I'm frustrated that doctors withhold so much info I don't feel helpless, crazy or like I'm dying anymore. Thank you so much!!

    I have never felt so heard. I got an endoscopy done due to some intestinal issues and learned I had a hiatal hernia. What’s been the hardest thing for me to understand is why did I start feeling all these symptoms after the procedure? I’m not sure how long I had this hernia for. At most I would get some acid reflux or heartburn. It was never anything serious. I told my Gastro doctor about my additional problems and she told me that I should talk to my general doctor because my symptoms weren’t associated with my hernia. I get the jumping heartbeat when bending over, the heavy pressure in my chest, the air hunger, and anxiety. All of it. It’s so scary. I’ve only been dealing with these new symptoms since September and it has completely changed my way of life. The biggest thing I want to know is can an endoscopy upset a hernia and cause all these symptoms that weren’t present before?

Just got results back that found its NOT my hiatal hernia ( literally non stop burping, plus) but HEART DOC found a REAL BUNCH OF SCARY STUFF by accident. I'm so worn out, sick n DISGUSTED by these effin' "doctors", l am at a loss at how to start , as l w now need A LOT more than gastroenterologist!!!! Not looking forward. Guess what, sorry if l sound bitter but...if you only knew.

    Good morning and god bless. In my teens, i was diagnosed with gastritis. Couldnt eat, felt full after one bite, would wake me up with extreme pain. As years went by conditions greatly improved. I am now 41 years oldz and for the past 22-23 years ive had no major issues aside from occasional abdominal pain/gas primarily at night after eating. Passing gas or make a bowel movement would help. This past march, i experience a life changing event. Was taking a hot shower and experienced a dull yet burning sensation in the middle of my chest. Immediately became extremely exhausted and couldn't finish my shower. Then came the numbness and tingling and shortness of breath with lightheadedness. Could barely move. Got to the ER and everything checked out normal. Lost 10 pounds in 2 months. Never had vomit or anything. Been to Specialties to Specialties and no one can pin point the issue. I would love to talk with you.

    Looking forward to the next video. I was diagnosed with a hiatal hernia and prescribed omeprazol for the rest of my life. I was instructed to also change my diet, which makes sense but even then I still get acid reflux. I now have heart palpitations and was diagnosed with pvc. So now I am prescribed a med for that as well. Hoping I can find answers to a better treatment plan, perhaps. Anyway thank you

    This is amazing. I've been speculating this for a while based on my symptoms. I've found that ibuprofen can help temporarily relieve my symptoms. Which makes sense, if the problem is inflammation. I've been diagnosed with sporadic pvcs, pacs, and ventricular tachycardia. I've been to the ER for this 4 times over the last ten years.

    Hello Mrs. Petersen,
    Thank you for your great videos. I live in Germany. Unfortunately I have had problems with my stomach for years. A small hiatal hernia was found. The gastroenterologist said that the hernia does not cause any discomfort. Elevated levels of the lower esophageal sphincter were found on manometry. I should take PPis. I'm really bad and my quality of life is very limited.
    Can you recommend me something?

    How can one manually correct a fixed hernia, with the stomach going through the diaphragm into the esophagus, not protruding sideway. I was told mine is about 2cm and I do get a few symptoms, mainly tension where i feel tense in the mid section, full for a lot longer and not hungry, I did have palpitations regularly but its a lot less now. When i do have symptoms it comes with a cough.

    • @DrVikkiPetersen
      @DrVikkiPetersen  Рік тому

      Manual reduction of the spasm is only successful when the root cause of the gut inflammation is dealt with. The tension you're feeling, plus lack of appetite and feeling full is not normal and is indicative of a malfunctioning GI tract. We do telemedicine across the country so would be delighted to help.

I can't do anything physical without feeling a spasm in my stomach and then the heart palpitations start, sometimes I slap my belly, repeatedly, to pass gas, and they will stop.

      Hi - so it turned out that I didn’t have a hiatal hernia. After having an endoscopy they discovered I had very bad stomach inflammation from stress and diet. It took a few months, but after carefully watching my diet and using PPI’s (which I was against, but I was desperate) I finally healed. I think getting a clear diagnosis from a dr is very important. I hope that you heal

      @marieletourneau1111 Місяць тому

      of course! So I got a recommendation for this book “The Gastric Healing Book” by LG cappellan - I admit to not following it exactly all the time, but making consistent choices and changes in diet helped me heal. This won’t sound appetizing, but I started juicing cabbage every morning and drinking it on an empty stomach. Also celery juice. Google cabbage juice and stomach issues. There’s a lot of science behind it. Once I felt better, I pretty much went back to eating things that I temporarily gave up. Coffee is a no-no until you’re better. Eat mild foods, stay away from acidic and greasy or fried stuff.

    I’ve been having left abdominal tension under my ribs and anxiety for 4 years . Chiropractor felt a lot of tension around a hiatus hernia area and a strong aortic pulse .4 years ago was cleared medically but the pseudo tightness, no pain and. No heart burn as been so strange . I also feel like my stress hormones go sky high when I start chewing.. the tension goes down to my pelvic area and mid back .
    It’s all Around the lower diaphragm area .. left side and my right side is soo free and relaxed . I can even feel it in upper glute . My ekg was ruled out as fine and ultrasound for epi gastric showed nothing .. so no my chiropractor said to do a few more visits before a barium x ray .
    All these symptoms started when I started working at a desk job …
