- 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.

Another symptom no one hardly talks about is coughing. I had a lot of coughing with my hiatal hernia.
Did you feel the need like when you are sick with the itchy throat? Or is it like a constant need to kinda clear your throat?
Mine was constant clearing my throat.
My cough just feels like I have to absolutely clear my throat and cough even though there’s nothing there.
And then my anxiety builds up because I start coughing more and more and my breathing speeds up and then I start feeling the anxiety kick in so I have to force myself to slow, breathe and tell myself that everything is OK.
Drinking very small amounts of water throughout the day and not gulping, help me a lot
@@Amy1975Jo it’s so weird because I could be normal and at a moments notice I just feel like I have to cough and I hate it because then I start breathing faster and I get anxiety so it’s always a constant battle of trying to come and tell myself that it is OK Everything will pass.
Now following up to get the surgery with my GI
Thank God, I found your channel 😭
Im wondering if this is my issue. Ive noticed when i have stomach issues i feel sick and anxious, then ill have a full blown panic attack. And my symptoms are worse at night for sure.
I’ve suffered with this for over 10 years. My main symptoms are chest tightness, shortness of breath, dizziness, light headedness. And of course ensuing anxiety. I had to stop wearing a bra because it made it so much worse, especially with exercise. Many times I worry I’m having a heart attack (called 911 once.) I’ve figured that if I can burp and it feels better it’s not a heart attack. Diaphragmatic breathing helps when I get anxious, it must be also helping relax the diaphragm. I’ve seen internists, gastroenterologists and cardiologists with all the workup, antacids and diet the only treatment recommended. Oh and anxiety medication. (Nope). If I wasn’t underweight I’m sure they would have said I need to loose some pounds. Thanks for acknowledging the problem.
Same condition. What to do?
Sometimes these symptoms are exasperated due to low (or non optimal) iron or ferritin.
You just described my experience over the last several years. Luckily, I haven’t had palpitations for 1.5 years- it’s terrible! The ER, doctors, & even cardiologist don’t know to consider. Look forward to knowing what to do, how to help myself. I will be sharing your videos with the above mentioned. So hopefully, they can identify others in the future. Thank you for sharing!!
What helped you get rid of palpitations
Magnesium glycinate & potassium worked good for me.
@@NishantGandhi7see comment. Everyone is different.
I hope everybody heals.
I’m definitely stuck in that cycle. I’ve been to the hospital multiple times. Anxiety definitely a secondary affect.
What about tinnitus as a symptom?
By the way, a just pressed on the top of my stomach area and it felt like i pushed a throbbing bubble down. I immediately got hungry and felt relief...
I think I have a hh, problems bending, lifting heavier things. I have fixed my acid reflux i didn't usually have a problem with before all this and my palpitations have improved quite a bit thankfully again no real issues with palps before this, have a history of ulcerative colitis but have been in remission for 15 years and now have a small bleed, but have no insurance and no extra money to see someone like you all so its prayer and what I can try and figure out on my own. Thank you all and bless you for what you do in Chist Jesus name.
Another factor is the effects of trauma and nervous system disregulation.
Finally , after dealing with this for 4 years they came to the rescue with diagnosing me . But 4 years ? My Bp rises to 240/95 and I had a stroke last year . Some people just arent there. Thank God they found it, now surgery. I went through it. My left side of heart has hardened but Ill be ok❤Never have I suffered from acid reflux or gerd , so how ?
You’re so amazing. Ppl really need to listen to you. You definitely know what you’re talking about. I always thought outside of the box and was never big on medication. Oh boy, you hit it on the nail because I’ve suffered with these symptoms for years so I am very familiar and you are naming every symptom I have and I also had a theory similar to what you’re saying right now. I’m in the US but if I can I would love to get in contact with you.
Of course, we'd be delighted to try to assist you. You can call us at 727-335-0400 or visit the website: www.RootCauseMedicalClinics.com, and go to consultation.
This is a brilliant explanation and mirrors what I’ve experienced for more than a decade.
Among the myriad symptoms I’ve had in my HH oddessy, some of the most disturbing have been when either pepsin or acidic gasses get up into my head…… ear lobes on fire, dry, burning eyes, burning sinuses, peppery, stinging sensation on the lips. I much prefer the knot in my mid torso to that other stuff.
Mouth ulcers, ive lost so much weight due to not being able to eat! Thankfully i have a good medical team 😊
I HAVE THIS AND AWAITING SURGERY AND I DO NOT WANT SURGERY AGAIN, I HOPE TO FIND OUT MORE IN YOUR OTHER VIDEOS. I WOULD LIKE TO FIND OUT WHERE YOU ARE I SEE A DR. KELVIN HIGA RIGHT NOW AND WE ARE TESTING SO FAR. I AM MISERABLE.
Excellent show. Very helpful!
Interesting.Can anyone tell me if they hve had severe prolonged hiccups with HH please along with other
usual symptoms?
Thank you for the video 🙏
Thank you so much for this video Dr Vikki ❤
i have chronic back pain and chest pain
I'm willing to fly and see you for an appointment! These are MY symptoms.
Which are the solutions then??
I just found your channel. Will be binge watching as much of your videos as I can because you talk about a lot of the issues I'm having. Can hiatal hernia cause hyperthyroidism and/or graves disease you think? New sub! Thank you.
Amazing and thorough explanation! Literally describes everything I’ve been experiencing for the past years. My career required I wear a bullet proof vest, which I believe has caused the added pressure around my stomach and chest area. After watching your video, I’m convinced this is the cause of my misery. I have an appointment with a gastroenterologist, I will update everyone once I see the specialist. I truly feel I lost my quality of life due to these symptoms, so I’m praying this is the issue since it’s treatable/curable.
What are some examples of natural remedies? I have a hiatal hernia. Im not looking to do the nissan or tif procedures. Im also currently on ppi.
I have a hiatal hernia and most of these symptoms but rarely do I have heartburn.
Don't think this will ever be reached but thank you Dr. Petersen. My biggest symptom is that it has led to a section of my stomach working in overdrive and creating really painful spasms. I take bentyl for this. Don't know what else to do
What’s the treatment?
Great information vikki i think we would all appreciate more on this subject and about how smoking and alcohol can worsen hiatal hernia because I suffer with this but yet I continue to smoke and don't drink enough water but I am going to quit smoking and start drinking a healthy daily amount of water instead of drinking tea and coffee
Sounds good!
don't forget the feeling like somebody's choking you. tightness . even swollen tonsils, sinus infections, choking on food. choking on nothing... (likely aspirating stomach acid.) now I'm getting those migrain spots before my eyes that are zigzag and brightly colered. If I went to the ER with all of these symptoms they would definitely put me in a straight jacket. I was diagnosed with a hiatal hernia three years ago. I'm still not getting any help from anybody. My primary care thinks I'm a pain in her butt . She's rude to me and dismissive.
Let me ask you something, did you get hoarse voice, had trouble breathing, when you tried to get something off a top shelf did the symptoms get worse and get chest pain?
@@juanio7036 just shortness of breath but not any worse upon reaching. Chest pain definitely. It is akin to a charley horse and I wonder if it is my diaphragm spasming or if it is my stomach spasming. It often goes straight through to my back. It could also be pancreas but they checked all that and it came back with nothing. I've had ultrasounds and blood work. Nobody knows what's wrong with me. I'm on the carnivore diet now and I feel much better but the gerd symptoms are still there. I'm trying betaine HCL with pepsin and I'm also trying ACV supplement capsules. Not really helping much
@juanio7036
Yes, it occured with me. Hoarse voice
Thank you for the lists! I so appreciate your work 🙂
My pleasure!
Hello.. Do you have website or ebook to access your treatment for hiatal hernia electronically? 😭 I'm too far from your place so I cannot give you a call. Im from the Philippines. 😭
Hiatus hernia + tinnitus since DermatofibroSarcoma 2 years ago
Im just curious if you actaully give the "natural remedy" for those of us who cannot afford to see you? No disrespect for you or your business but you said its not that hard to fix and after almost 2years I need help
I do understand. Our treatments are natural but there isn't a "single" natural remedy. We have a course coming out to help assist but it's going to be several months. Two years is a long time. We'd be happy to assist, but it does involve some funds. You can call us for a consultation: 727-335-0400.
Hi Dr. Vikki I feel a weakness in that area ( hital haria ) is it safe to wear a waist trainer?
@@DrVikkiPetersen is the course for the people who can't afford your program? Thanks Doc!
Have you heard of Bicorn surgery that is only done in Germany and Switzerland?? What are your thoughts about it. Would love if you made a video about it. Thanks!
I haven't heard of it. I'll have to do some research. Thank you for bringing it up.
I read that running 🏃♀️ helps keep the stomach down
. I am having all these symptoms. I went to ER for this . They said I’m fine but refer to cardiologist they did ECHO Holter and stress test . They said I’m fine but having some asymptomatic atrial complex . He said it’s due to your anxiety . But I diagnosed with hiatal hernia after endoscopy . I can easily feel these symptoms are coming together when stomach upset my heart is also upset. But my dr didn’t pay attention for it . He said to reduce my anxiety. I can feel some abnormal beats like skipping beats sometimes , it makes me stressed. I would really like to be from this .waiting for a reply

What about roemfeld syndrome ??
Can hiatal hernia cause Sinus arrythmia and Right Axis Deviation in ECG Report?
I wonder this too. I have gerd and pretty sure I have dispepsia. I developed SVT (tachycardia) a few years ago which I’ve contributed to menopause. But I feel I have gastric-cardiac issues that cause palpitations and tachycardia. Severe anxiety too! The anxiety isn’t mental though, it’s almost all physical symptoms. Things really suck!!!
Who was the cardiologist from the UK? Does he have any videos or information online we could look at?
Sanjay gupta
My stomach is bloated after food and i feel like a lump of food is coming up to my throat even after 6 hours of eating and my stomach sounds like a water bottle sloshing and gurgling, slight pain on left side just under rib and tight middle chest does that sound like hiatal hernia
Another symptom, at least based on myself, my left ear and eye hurts. Based on the pain i also know how bad something is under there.
Iron deficiency anemia causes this cascade me for me, it's so awful. Not getting enough oxygen ... affect my LES, = gerd, anxiety, heart palpations, air hunger, fatigue. Make you feel crazy. And doctors make you feel crazy too.
Thank you , most helpful 🌈🌷❤️
Very educational, Thank You! Does Haital Hernia cause Sleep Apnea and Tooth decay? Does it affect the heart's electrical signals to produce arrythmias?
It can definitely cause arrhythmia.
Tooth decay can be associated with acid reflux
I also believe HH can be related to sleep apnea. I have throat tension due to chronic belching caused by HH. I think I have vocal chord dysfunction, as it mimics asthma. And my throat feels more closed than it used to.
Yes!! I believe this is one of the causes of my arrhythmia (svt/tachycardia) I was in SVT just yesterday and my heart rate went up to 200. I hate it so much.
@@CarmQ Wow.. that was a very high pulse rate. Hope u have it well under control cuz of risk of blood clots. Tysm for your response. I've been suspecting that is what my mom has. Ty.
I
I have had the right upper quadrant ache since college. I am 33 now. My ct was clean, ultra was clean, endoscopy clean… I have been having shortness of breath, out of wack cortisol, occasional tingling of fingers. I have been told it’s stress and all in my head!!!!
I have been lifting weights aggressively and competing in jiu jitsu and wrestling since college! I think it’s all adding up. I am not a high anxiety person, but having this happen with 0 answers for almost a decade is killing me!
It comes usually with lots of exercise
Also all blood work is perfect
And, I tore my peck during a jiujitsu competition, during that year with no training, the ache totally went away. As soon as I started training again, it came back
Omg i was getting heart test blocked artery test and finally figured out i have a giant HH and will get surgery
Does this include sleep apnea? Affects your heart rate

I get nausea after i eat.
I have become sensitive to lots of chemicals. Maybe some panic attacks… but besides preservatives, dyes, soy making me nauseated, mucus flows, stomach pain… white breads give me palpitations. If I eat clean, non processed foods I cook , no seed oils… I am fine… eat some restaurant food, I start getting bloating, gas, tummy nauseous… more people should try giving up chemical food…
My daughter has stopped processed foods and I see some improvement.
I quit white rice and all anxiety left
You are not being sarcastic it’s exactly what happens
Stop using fluoride toothpaste.
Can this cause nausea ?
