- In this webinar, you will get a deeper understanding on what a hiatal hernia is, how we have had success treating it and the best solution for you.
Webinar Summary:
Hiatal Hernia Syndrome can be effectively treated by addressing the root cause through a personalized program that includes normalizing and treating the gut, addressing structural effects, balancing and toning core muscles, and considering nerve involvement.
00:00
People with Hiatal Hernia Syndrome often experience a range of symptoms that are misdiagnosed as stress or acid reflux, leading to ineffective treatment and compromised digestion in the long term.
04:35
Hiatal hernia syndrome can be resolved by addressing the root cause, which includes normalizing and treating the gut, addressing structural effects, balancing and toning core muscles, and considering nerve involvement.
07:51
Food sensitivities and poor diet are internal causes of hiatal hernia syndrome, and testing for imbalances in the gut can alleviate symptoms such as bloating, gas, acid reflux, constipation, and diarrhea.
11:47
Hiatal hernia syndrome has various root causes and requires a tailor-made program to address symptoms such as shortness of breath, heart palpitations, and panic attacks, as conventional medicine's approach with antacids is not effective and has negative side effects.
15:08
Hiatal Hernia Syndrome can cause intense gut symptoms, even in small or subclinical hernias, and there are myths that there is no cure or natural therapy, but this is not true.
17:23
A personalized program is the cure for Hiatal Hernia Syndrome, addressing the root cause rather than relying on drugs, with an emphasis on the body's ability to heal itself.
20:16
Committing to lifestyle changes and identifying the root cause with Root Cause can successfully treat Hiatal Hernia Syndrome, resulting in symptom resolution and improved sleep and energy levels with an 85% success rate.
22:38
The root cause hiatal hernia syndrome program is tailored to each individual with an integrated approach from a team of doctors, and a free 30-minute consultation is offered to determine if it's a good fit for the patient.

My brother and I cycle in nearby mountains. He was diagnosed decades ago with a very moderate hiatal hernia. But it only ever bothers him every few years. He just puts some water in his mouth and drops hard onto his heels while gulping down the water to resolve that. He used to sometimes experience a very short, sharp pain in his upper-left chest between the throat and the nipple. He would then experience palpitations for about 10 minutes. He would finally burp and all symptoms went away. He learned that if he quickly swallowed a fizzy drink before cycling, he would then burp and have no more chest pain or palpitations cycling up the hills. 2 years now and no more problems.
Yup a can of coke would make acid reflux go away... but water? Ohhhh makes it worse
@@patrickglaser1560water makes my reflux way worse
I heard about the hell drop, but forget what it does
The idea is to get the weight and gravity to pull the stomach esophageal sphincter back down through the diaphragm @@c.518
@ericwallace1470 I wonder if its the chlorine
jaw pain, headaches, neck pain...plusthe other symptoms generally. Just diagnsed with HH, and it's so good to hear someone talk about this holistically, and from a whole body perspective. My anxiety is raging too. x
It saddens me that are health care system is so messed up in the U.S. Doctors really don’t care. They are stuck in their ways and just want their work day to be over like everyone else. It’s a shame we pay so much in healthcare costs for poor quality help. I salute this doctor for thinking outside the box. 😁
Thank you Ronee. You're correct; our current healthcare system is in a poor state.
Omigosh 1000xs worse in SA. All I have learnt has come from alternative drs on US on internet and Dr Gupta from York in UK. The struggle just makes one feel hopeless when all drs. here look at you and treat you as if its all in the head. I have even developed lymph cancer in psoas, which I swear has to do with longterm ppis and this is the 1st time in my journey of trying to find answers, which began 2011, that I have even heard psoas is connected to this problem. I always feel like info comes one puzzle piece at a time and sooooo slowly, with constant searching, that there are times I could howl with hopelessness and frustration, especially seeing I cant get any dr to listen to me or take me seriously.😢😢😢 Thabk you for this channel and info I hsve just found.
They're also a victim of the system. Long days with many patients trying to make money for the corporations that own them. It's sad all around. Covid really exposed it
It the same in England and we don't pay for our health care which i we are very thankful but it is very hard to get passed the receptionist to get a phone call back when you do you have to wait for weeks which i did recently and guess what she told me to do go to the shrop doc o and I have not seen a doctor in five years and i am 79.years.old.they.dont.want.to.know.you.after.the.age.of.seventy.you.have.had.your.life.span.bye.bye
Im in Cda. My family of 6ppl are without a gp for the last 7yrs. When sick its ,either ER or private Drs.that hav u pay thru the nose. Private issurance is worthlesss since we are supposed to have ntnl health they dont cover much, so you end up paying twice, once thru your taxes and then repaying in private care. Drs. decided to profit from their turf as much as poss . So we get less and less svce and their costs keep riising.....
You mentioned that the nerves from the upper back go to the stomach. I have almost every symptom you have mentioned. No wonder my upper back stays so sensitive all the time! Thank you so much for the information. Now I know what I have been dealing with for over 50 years!
It’s great that your practice helps to correct the root causes of the problems. I recently started to limit all sugar from my diet including cutting out bread, baked goods, junk foods and fried foods. I eat Salmon, Cod grilled chicken, eggs and vegetables. I also fast for 16 hours a day. I have GERD, Hiatal Hernia and Fatty Liver Disease. The American Diet is to blame. Some Doctors only prescribe drugs, but do little if anything to help people solve the root cause. I was told many times that my panic attacks and palpitations were all in my head. I wish I found your practice much sooner.
Thank you dr. For being a real person.
Ive been gaslit for decades
Thanks so much for offering a logical explanation for the weird symptoms I've been feeling for a while. Thankful that someone has the integrity to offer these subjects out to the public view. You are an excellent teacher!
Just AMAZING! a real caring human doctor who explains in fine details the very best information you need to know about, a BLESSING.
Thank you.
Thank you so much, this is exactly what I go through. Shortness of breath, heart palpitations, , almost cat breath…so thank you. I glad you showed up on my you tube
Constipation is my middle name . Inflammation is my middle name . Ive had a stroke last year April . I've been suffering for 4yrs with this till the ER did not treat me without diagnoses😢 I never suffered from gerd or any of the above . Now I have a diagnoses that may require surgery . Having 4 children was nothing compared to this pain . 4 yrs, suffering . My blood pressure would rise to 240/93 easy . I would run to the ER for help, 😢, no treatment at all because no diagnoses . It's as if they thought I was crazy or making this up . But Thank God they found a diagnoses❤
I never gave up !
The root cause for me was childhood trauma. After spending my life savings on how to manage my hernia without surgery I finally figured out what caused mine.
Once I addressed my dysregulated nervous system caused by trauma and did some trauma release work and used a device called Iqoro and following Pam Fox's hiatal hernias, I am finally living a pain free life and can eat anything I want now. I have also stopped drinking alcohol and anything with caffeine because they relax the muscles around where the sphincter is. My years of drinking lots of both didn't help matters any.
My heart goes out to anyone who has a hiatal hernia that is causing them any pain, reflux, anxiety, insomnia, SVT, or more. It took me nearly 20 years to figure all this out and I am so happy to see people like Dr Vikki Petersen addressing this often over looked health issue that 99.999% of health professionals do not know how to treat.
Glad it worked for you.
@thedatepro how long before you get better after starting your treatment
Me too from childhood trauma
Hi. Inspiring story. I was wondering without meaning to get too personal, what techniques did you use for the dysregulated nervous system.
Thanks
Sam
I've had these symptoms for several years and I am still not believed! I live in the UK, been to A and E several times over the years. Thank you for this diagnosis, of which I sadly will be stuck with till the end of my life! I'm 73 now. As we are not believed in this country. C

Wow, I was just diagnosed with a hiatal hernia yesterday, and was told to take omeprozol twice a day for about 8 weeks. I'm blown away, I have all of those symptoms except consipation. Thank you for this.

Hi fah..
How are u. Now ...
Same here 😭
I was told I have a hiatal hernia today. Well that finally explains where my bad breath has been coming from.
@@LM-bv9wl
What are your symptoms bro
Lucky you 😢
There are so many issues. I had a successful open MALS surgery but the celiac artery has a zigzag pattern. Stenosis with stable 13mm aneurysm below it. Hiatal hernia, incisional hernia mesh, pancreatitis, Barrett’s esophagus and there is painful bloating and 15 lb weight loss. Thank you for explaining things and understanding.
This is exactly what is happening to me with the drs. I’ve been seeing drs for 8 god damn years with no answers 🤬🤬🤬. I finally found it with my recent endoscopy.
I have acid reflux for many years, chronic Gastritis, chronic Ulceritis and in the last 3 years heart palpitations on top. Everything you say makes so much sense for me! Thank you very much!🙏🙏❤
Hi Dr Petersen, I am in Australia and our health system is just as bad unfortunately.
I was diagnosed with hiatal hernia over 10yrs ago, I stopped consuming milk and my reflux disappeared. I recently had abdominal pain but also many of the symptoms you mentioned, hard to get a breath, lite headedness etc. CT scan says hiatal hernia just last week. I am now doing Keto and intermittent fasting and have noticed some improvement.
So glad I found you, will be very much so following yours and your teams lead 🙏 thankyou so much

Can milk be a trigger for everyone?
@@elizabethfrancis7712I found drinking milk before bed gave me a lot of mucus. I have a small hiatal hernia. I would wake up choking. Always needing to clear my throat. Before I figured it out they put me on a steroid inhaler at bedtime. Stopped milk and off medication. 😀
@@DrVikkiPetersenis there a clinic I could visit in Durban, South Africa?
I just Commented on your other Video Dr. Vikki. This is Magnificent Info. I suffer with mkany of the Symptoms delineated on your videos, Including Heart Palpitations. I have Spinal Imbalances with Cervical Instabilities, which are affecting so much in my body I am a sufferer for decades! I'm 72 and much of this all started when i was 31 or so. I point out that per a Cervical MRI - my first taken - in 2012 denoted that I have a More Narrow Than Normal Spinal Canal. According to the Mayo Clinic - only 5% of the population have this abnormality. With the amount of OA in my spinal discs, DDD throughout, Lumbar / Thoracic Dextroscoliosis of 25 degrees (created by a Leg Length Discrepancy of a 1" shorter right leg as a result of a Femur fracture in 1966).
Dr Peterson, where are you located? That you consider food sensitivity and bacterial imbalances as valid, you are MY KIND OF DOCTOR!
That is very helpful. Appreciate all your doing for us with our questions. God bless 🙏. Love from 🇻🇺
My pleasure!
You are definitely god sent! I have experienced so many symptoms for the last 10 years trying to explain them to drs or close family/friends & it’s so frustrating because people tend to think you’re crazy, when in fact you know your body & you know something’s not right. Been to primary care on a regular different specialist & hospital visits to only diagnosing anxiety & obesity. I don’t have allot of heartburn unless I eat something to agitate it I really don’t experience allot of pain with my hiatal hernia either but I do experience all the other symptoms & it’s just getting worse. Thank you so much for all your videos after all these years I finally have the answer😢
Wow this has opened my eyes to what has been a problem for me since 2018..
My initial symptoms where feeling bloated and chest pains which caused me to panic thinking it was a heart attack I was diagnosed with stress panic disorder and prescribed ssri’s which I refused to take..
I coped with the panic attacks and became anxious not knowing when I’d have another episode and have managed to cope since that point..
Ive always had acid reflux but usually treat this with over the counter antacid treatments and thought nothing of it untill recently i had what I thought was a sore throat from hell which wouldn’t go away..
Went to see gp and was referred to endoscopy to find I have a 2cm sliding hiatal hernia and barrats osophagus..
The syndrome to speak of is exactly what all my symptoms are since 2018 and the doctors never picked up on it at that point and said it was mental health issues.
Every symptom you said I have had for a long time now and i now realise the pressure in my chest the bloatedness and shortness of breath are because I have thos syndrome and have been mis diagnosed back in 2018..
I just need to work out how to get this sliding hernia to go down and to stay down becauese even at 56 years old I have fabulous core strength and regularly go to kickboxing and mainatain a healthy weight..
My diet is appalling to be honest and this is what’s caused gerd to begin with but ive leant more about this condition in one video than any doctor could have told me for years thanks for this info I feel I can try to resolve something now that I know exactly what it is I’m suffering with ❤❤
Superb video ; I have suffered so much with this over the years : trying so hard

I have had all of these symptoms for months. Today I had an endoscopy (I'm in Europe). I was so incredibly stressed but it was not as bad as I had built it up in may head to be. They put me asleep :) Doctor says I have a Hiatal Hernia. He did a biopsy. So now I wait. I started on PPI's recently. They help the chest pain. Excellent video. Thank you.
You're welcome. It will be important once you get your results to get to the root cause of the hiatal hernia and thereby be able to wean you off the antacid (PPI) successfully. The long-term problems associated with PPI use can be dangerous. There is a root cause if you'd like to address it. It's fine that you live in Europe. We offer telemedicine across the U.S. and in some countries in Europe. If you'd like assistance please contact us at 727-335-0400 and we can set up a consultation.

This is very good information I had gerd been diagnosed with for 6 years now tried everything nothing work had another episode last year Dr did an endoscopy n found out I had a .4cm hiatal I was told just take omeprazole so I do not taking meds I try to take care if it naturally but again every time I workout it agitate it. So I’m so glad I found this! Definitely going to look in to this
How are you doing now ? I have the same situation
How are you ? Did you improve ? Once I start lifting it flares up again it’s so frustrating . I guess I have to keep lowering the weight
Oh my god I've been having most of these symptoms and all the Heart and Lung tests on me came out normal. I'll schedule a gastro check up this week just to confirm if this is really my problem. Thank you very much for this video.

You’ve made me so happy. I thought I was going crazy
ANOTHER SYMPTOM . I had tingling in my calves and in the center of my feet. Once I was diagnosed with hiatal hernia and started to do my own research; I started doing belly breathing exercises and the tingling in my legs and feet stopped. What I've concluded from that was somehow nerves were being compressed and affected my body elsewhere.
Wow! You are a smart person . I had tingling in my toe ( yes it sounds weird , but it's 100% true) .
I am looking how to fix acid reflux , erosion esophagus and Hiatal Hernia , I do have other health issues , they all came all at once , 4 years ago . I been on youtube researching for these issues, and I cant .
Me too
WOW!!! You’ve literally named everything going on with me !! Figured I’d never be lucky enough to come see you until I just looked you up and realized you’re right around the corner. I live in Tampa . You’ll 💯 be getting a call from me!!!! HELLLLPPPP!!!! Lol
You are so welcome! We are ready to help!
Dr. Vikki, Thank you for the information and focus on the issue. I drank about a quart of Horchata approx.. 8 weeks ago and my belly got very large. I am a slender man , almost 65. I have now gained about 10 lbs. and it is not going away. I exercise and try to eat properly. I do have a VA doctor who sent me for an endoscopy and results were normal for pathology and for my CT scan. Report showed a Medium Hiatal Hernia. I also now have neck and shoulder pain. I started taking 250 mg of simethicone for relief of the bloating , gases and pressure. I anticipate another appointment with my VA doctor so that we can discuss this further. I'm not able to eat nearly as much as I used to and have cut back on fatty foods. Just hoping for better ideas on how to treat !
Oh my God I am having all these symptoms for over 18 years.Have had panic attacks etc.This is the first time I have ever heard of this disease.Wow.
I think i have one ughh. Really bummed about it. I never had stomach issue or acid reflux. But now i do. Bloating, costipation, slight constant chest, stomach pain. Can even feel the bump. Ive even woke from a dead sleep coughing up acid! It cause me uvula problems. Not fun! Im fairly healthy too but it slows me down, feel like crap after i eat. Sometimes even choke swallowing water. Im 44 yrs old and slowly problems arised. Getting old stinks! Thank you for the spot on info!! Very informative! God bless!
Shot of apple cider vinegar in a glass of water works wonders for me 🍻
I have all the symptoms and experiences you mentioned...and I have sensitivity to eating ANY foods. 40 years of doctoring and testing etc, and still no relief or answers. I've stopped eating in the past because of the pain and stress, but that didn't help anything, made more symptoms, duh right? So glad to have found this channel, I hope I can figure my issues out and help myself 😊
I feel your pain good luck
Same for me but as you say I do my own research on the medical sites and watch a lots of doctor here on TH-cam. One doctor I watch a lot is Dr Eric Berg he has thousands of videos on TH-cam on everything that you can think off, and with 11million subscribers or more following him can speaks for his helpful videos. I will check out some of them to see how to heal myself. Good luck on your health journey 🙏🏻
DrBerg is great and I like Dr Ken Berry and Dr Robert Cywres as well. Dr Sunjay Gupta from York Cardiology … and more. Many on youtube for free
great video ,thank you
Took PPIs long term. After multiple doctors and scopes, I finally had a doctor tell me I had a hiatal hernia. Later I was told it was common in adults my age and was it was not considered in treatment.

This is completely true what you say.
The worst is still when we don't sleep well our toughts are affected and if we had bad habbits then the stronger paths in our brain are still most ofen chosen unconciously and bacause of this we eg eat each meal bigger (even is a bit bigger and healthy, it doesn't matter !, even you have great ABS muscles and entire body) than we should again. We do so many other things which we shouldn't because of that disrupted mechanism, a chain triggered by dysregulated body - mind connection. It's like a neverending loop. That's the biggest issue !
thank you!
I have all of this symptoms and more ( heart palpitations.. difficult of breathing .. panic attack bloating constipation anxiety shoulder pain ..) for 12 years they give me all the medications you mentioned in the video.. and 3 months ago i did endoscopy and i found that i have hiatal hernia and gerd and my doctor told me that my symptoms is not related to hernia .. so i did research on google and found all my symptoms is caused by hiatal hernia .. i give up from the doctors I visited most of the good doctors in my city through the years and they all failed to find why i have this symptoms…

I was diagnosed with a hiatal hernia 25 years ago. I’ve taken some kind of proton pump, inhibitor that entire time. I’ve been able to eat what I want drink all the alcohol I want and live and do whatever it is that I want but here lately that omeprazole, I’m taking doesn’t seem to be working the way it supposed to be.
I had a big acid reflux problem. I was told I had a hiatal hernia. I stopped eating carbs and sugar and did intermittent fasting. Immediately my reflux stopped and my sleep apnea also disappeared along with many other health benefits!!!!! Do keto!
I wish I can do the program. I've had hiatal hernia and GERD, ad well as pretty much all the other symptoms mentioned in thise video, for over 15 years. I was taking PPIs for almost the entire time. My GI just switched me to something safer last year because he finally listened to me when I said I was worried about long-term side effects. Every meal makes me feel bloated, and I can literally feel all of my organs pushing upward. I get short of breath a lot after eating as well. My quality of life is just awful, and my symptoms are just getting worse, and my doctors are no help at all. I wish there was a root cause clinic near me.
Fr I think I have a hiatal hernia but the doctors keep shutting me down
I haven't been diagnosed yet, but I can relate to 95% of this informational video. I went to the ER and they said I was full of stool and sent me home with magnesium citrate and a script for colace 100mg twice daily for 10 days. I do feel constipated (not able to fully empty my bowels and less frequent bowel movements), however, my main complaint is epigastric pain. Right under my breast bone. Some gerd but nothing crazy and some heart burn. I also get this weird wheezing feeling on occasion. I eat a whole foods diet with plenty of water and fiber. I had to eliminate fruits and honey because they caused me to have sharp pain along with the constant ache in my diaphragm. Also burping frequently. Leading up to the constant dull ache and occasional sharp pains in the epigastric area, I felt a weird sensation in my esophagus. Like something was stuck in there. I do intermittent fasting and often eat a large meal in the evenings. I can't do that currently as I get severely bloated and get heart burn. The dull ache weirdly subsides for a little while after eating only to return a couple hours later. I do get heart palpitations as well... I should mention I was on SSRI for 22 years and recently got off of them(15 months ago) but have been having a ton of psychological and physical symptoms. It's been a rollercoaster ride in hell, honestly... I have a few appointments with my PCP and a GI doctor as well as a naturopath doctor this week. I live in Bradenton . It looks like you're close by. If I get the diagnosis I'm thinking I'll get I'll probably reach out to you for help in the near future. Very Blessed to have found your video! Take care.

this is all good and fine, but upon checking your clinic, I see that insurance is not accepted and most of your costs will run from $500 for a doctor's appointment (if you're not a monthly subscriber ) to $1,200 or more for treatment. So, it s a bit odd that you don't include that in your videos
Very often these videos are all about money. Check out dr. Gupta, from York (GB) he has excellent videos and does not plug any books or supplements.
Unfortunately because big pharma, main stream medical and insurance companies are all holding hands and sharing profits. Medical practitioners who utilize the functional medicine practices (treating the cause, not the symptoms) are not covered by insurance. Hmmmm. This is unfortunate but these functional medicine practitioners still need to make a living. It simply is going to cost the consumer more
This is frustrating… I’ve spent so much in doctors fees, getting tests done, and prescriptions of PPI’s, anxiety meds, etc. I finally got an upper endoscopy and found out I have this. And put together the pieces myself. Whenever I asked if this might be linked to my heart/lung/stomach complaints - and always was met with a shrug and no.
excellent information

Five years ago I had a moderate hiatal hernia. Now it's large. Getting heart palpitations. Went to heart doc. Said it's genetic cuz I told him my mom had that. For 8 months now been doing intermittent fasting 16 hrs a day. I don't get heartburn anymore and no reflux. I do get pain in my stomach/chest and heart palpitations. I'm 75 so I don't want an operation.
Posture is important bc stomach is connected supported by spinal column
My son’s father suffers from almost all of the symptoms that you describe.
I'm 21 and have,
Shortness of breath
Heart palpitations
Bloating
Occasionally stabbing chest pains
Panic attacks
Anxiety
Found out I had hpylori, took antibiotics felt better for a couple of days but now I'm feeling worse than before, iv had these issues for more than a year now and I have seen cardiologists, doctors, been to the ER, in the ambulance multiple times, blood work, they say is good and ekgs also, now they have me on anti depression meds and here I am still suffering with shortness of breath, heart palpitations, sometimes I get really bad acid reflux too
Drink 2 glasses of room temp water, hold arms above chest, go on tip toes and breath deep then exhale, loosen stomach muscles and drop hard to your heels, the water weight should pull down the stomach and give temporary relief, it worked for me. Then massage under rib, push hard and follow clockwise left side, it pulls down stomach from herniating through that chest bone with esophogous

I'm in the uk I could cry, you've described all of the symptoms ive suffered for 18+years which is how long ive been on PPI's, started with heart issues, and been on low dose Asprin too for many years, I also have a large incisional hernia very low down my right abdomen after an emergency c section almost 18 years ago, they won't repair this because my weight is too high so until I drop 20kgI'm on my own, utterly miserable and finding weight loss very difficult, I'd like to come off the PPI's but I tried once and it got worse and caused hypersecretion, do you have a method to come off PPI's?
I consider my fundoplication surgery a success. I was having terrible acid reflux and regurgitation, only partially relieved by omeprazole. The only other symptom I had as this progressed was severe iron deficiency anemia (hemoglobin of 4). I had none of the other symptoms you described. Post surgery, I had to go back on omeprazole due to trouble swallowing. I don't know why this happening, because the endoscopy shows that things are healing, and no Barret's esophagus. The PPIs keep the dysphasia in check, but my bone density scans show osteoporosis. As you say, every case is different.

apple vinegar cures you. take my advice to the bank
@@sylvainbernaers I have been having very little milk this week at a conference. I have tried a couple of oranges, and they seem to upset my stomach a little. This "too little stomach acid" theory is just that.
🤔 Hmmm definitely gave me something to think about. I see a surgeon in June, as my hiatal hernia which has not only my stomach, it also has part of pancreas.
Diet is key. My chiropractor said eat more protein preferably beef and seafood and dark meat chicken. Also take betaine hydrochloride with meals to break down protein. Low carbs too. No sugar. It works.
I am having symptoms that wake me at night, pressure in my chest & a bad headache that develops suddenly. I have to get up I'm so uncomfortable. My pulse drops to the low 50's but my blood pressure gets very high. A nitroglycerine tablet seems to give me some relief. My cardiologist didnt find anything wrong with my heart. I was diagnosed with a moderate hiatal hernia . I had suspected that it might be some kind of esophageal spasm causing my chest pains but I couldn't find much information. Neither my cardiologist or gastrologist were interested in discussing the possibility a correlation. I'll be ordering your book, because my instinct is to treat the cause not the symptoms as you recommend. Thoughts?
It does sound like a Hiatal Hernia. If you'd like assistance consider reaching out for a consultation. You can call us at 727-335-0400. We have a high success rate.
I have IBS, hiatal hernia, palpitations, vertigo, migraine, GERD, schotzkys Ring, anxiety, cant sleep right and have suffered since age 5. Im 58. I started working on my gut. Just cant seem to get it under control.
I am NOT having shortness of breath, I did in the past . anxiety from time to time , constipation , bloating ,
burping .
If I lay on my right side, I fall into a deep sleep REM. However, this is when I often wake up nervous and breathless and sometimes experience extreme tachycardia. I have talked to my cardiologist, GP, endocrinologist etc and of course there's no answer. They say the symptoms are unrelated.
Yet, when I sleep on my right side I feel I'm causing compression to my stomach, pancreas or liver. It is difficult for me not to turn on my right side during sleep because I have a difficult time falling asleep most nights.
I was eventually admitted to hospital due to diabetes and dizziness where I was told I had VVS and was prescribed anti-vertigo medication.
It doesn't work and does not solve the problem.
I have been on antacids pantprozole and Prevacid for years now, i'm wondering if the damage is already done
My mother just passed away, they said they saw lesions on her liver, they just passed it off as cancer and wouldn't treat her, they were going to drain her lungs, but instead they decided that it will fill back up anyway. They wouldn't feed her nothing for the first 5 days in Detroit Henry Ford because they were going to run tests, but she didn't like the taste of the solution, she was begging to eat, by the 5th day she was so weak, i made them give her food, she ate like a horse, by the next day i thought she had a stroke, no idea what happened, but the doctor said she was just tired. I told the doctor i sent all her records from st. Joes over to HF, his reply was that he didn't have time to go thru 84 years of records, i said i just wanted him to look at last year because i noticed it said she had a moderate to severe hiatal hernia, he said that hiatal hernias aren't serious, i told him yes they can be and that most of her symptoms seemed like it was from that. I could go on and on the nightmare of how she was treated, she walked into the hospital, frail, but talking and walking, on September 15th, she couldn't communicate after a week, and was dead by Oct 11th. 😢
So sorry 😢 for the loss
I'm very sorry to hear of your loss.
Thank you. Are there some situations where a hiatal hernia is caused through injury or history of child asthma? And in those cases. Could the hernia be repaired surgically (not LES surgery)? In other words, is it always an underlying condition that causes the hernia?
There are genetic hiatal hernias. Injuries such as car accidents can be another cause. I typically see those related to gut imbalance however.
Hi dtr Vicki, I have been watching your videos , and this is exactly what I have been feeling for the last 3 months . I hope you can help me , please let me know how we can set up an appointment asap.
Thank you !

I have a question, I’ve been told I have a sliding hiatal hernia and moderate gastritis, are you trying to say that if I ate all natural foods and ditched everything that’s considered processed, the hernia/gastritis may eventually resolve themselves?, I’d appreciate a response kind regards
It worked for me. I was so bad I could barely breathe.
@@Pdk764 Did you have hiatal hernia and did you fix it ? If so, how ? could you tell me how you fixed it ???? Thank you
Are you aware of this treatment available in Canada?

Can anyone tease out the connections in either or both directions of constipation and hiatal hernia? Can someone connect the dots? Does it involve the microbiome? On ketovore for six months and this is forcing positive changes. Is reduced inflammation the answer?
What do you think about having a Hiatal hernia and gastritis at the same time? Been suffering for so long!
They very commonly occur together. I'm sorry I didn't see your comment earlier. If you need any assistance consider contacting us for a consultation. We'd be delighted to help. You can call us at 727-335-0400.
@DrVikkiPetersen . As others have noted , I too have gastritis, IBS, Years of Bloating & Burping, But alos Cervcial Instabilities and Maladies of the spine. Moreover, My L2 & L3 Lumbar Discs Bulge into the front toward the stomach and into the rear invoking Mild Stenosis of the spinal cord.
More than half my stomach is in my chest. I have lots of issues! I need surgery, been referred for surgery.
@DrVikkiPetersen do you conduct online consultation for patients that leave overseas? I have had the issues described for 7 years now (6 endoscopy, 2 stress test, 1 ECG, 2 visits to the ER, multiple diets, antiacid medication, anti anxiety medication etc) no result.

Do you have the program in a form of a ebook for someone who live outside the US? I really need the help.
I was hoping for some helpful info here.
I’ve had a pain in my upper left stomach when I cough, sneeze or move a certain way . This weekend I had extreme pain in my stomach. After a contrast scan they said my appendix needed to be removed immediately and it was . As I’m home I read the results and it mentions I have a small hiatal hernia and they didn’t even mention this in the 2 days in the hospital. Could that be my pain when I cough sneeze or move certain ways ? Ty

I'd love to get your help but I'm no where near Florida. How do I get this help in my home state?
What about the line device, how has it proved, tks
Linx device
Does the heital hernia remains even after fundoplication?
You hit on the spot be😂n to er 8 times for heart rate to high and anxiety 8 months later they found i had a hiata hernia now every makes sense now
I would love to work with you folks. You sound like exactly what I need. Unfortunately I’m in one of the states (RI) that can’t do telemed with you. I’m 59, in excellent health, other than this HH & all the goodies that come with it, very active, don’t go anywhere near the “SAD”, & per most people look 20 years under my age, and yet here we are. Very frustrating.
Hi Shawn. Actually one of our doctors CAN work with you - good news! If you'd like assistance please consider reaching out for a consultation: call us at 727-335-0400. We have a very high success rate and would be delighted to help!
Thank you for posting,
I had my hiatal hernia repaired several years ago but I still have these bouts of “bubble guts” that come with this relentless heart flopping! It seems to have no rhyme or reason sometimes it will happen for a few days in a row, then not again for a month or so. Sometimes I have the tummy thing with no heart palpitations. but I don’t think I ever have the palpitations without the tummy thing! Rubbing or pushing downward at the hiatus area seems to help so it’s definitely related!
Dr. Vikki,
How does someone know for certain that they have a hiatal hernia? Thanks.
Thank u for info
God bless
Why don’t u tell us what to do at home please
Not everyone can have chance to travel and see u
🙏
Exactly. I’ve been miserable for years. At one time dr prescribed Zoloft. They prescribed very expensive medications to block acid. Thank the Lord I decided to change diet. Never took the first pill. Everyone called me idiot. Now my 20 year old son is suffering. He went to the doctor and first thing they prescribed Zoloft. He didn’t take it but still won’t listen to me about lifestyle. He keeps saying everyone else can eat this and they are fine. I’m not giving up on him
Everything that you said is every symptom that I have every single one for Uber 2 years now and I'm just begging and screaming for help but I'm a caregiver to an 85-year-old mother and I don't have any family my dad just passed away in June I wish I could get someone to help me
I recently had a bout of vomiting one night and then multiple sessions of severe dry heaving possibly from food poisoning or possibly from norovirus. Does vomiting cause a hiatal hernia to get worse question I also like to know does filling your stomach with water and jumping on a rebounder or trampoline help pull the hiatal hernia down through the diaphragm?
Excellent presentation thank you. I'm not going mad! Good to know. I would love to commit to your program. I'm ready to make all the commitments necessary provided that the financial commitment is within my means. I'm living in Europe. I will email you. You've been a huge help already. I have been two years with most of the symptoms you outline plus a chronic cough. You dont mention coughing as a symptom. Is it something you've encountered before? It comes and goes. I have to sleep in a sitting position. I've been on Omeprazol for 6 weeks and seen no change in my symptoms. I've seen a cardiologist who referred me to a pulmonologist. I'm currently being tested by an allergist. My doctor wants to rule out other things before sending me for an endoscopy. She suspects the cause of my problems is a hiatus hernia. Thanks again for your clear information on the subject.
Please do reach out Catherine so that we can get you started. I'm sorry you've been going through so much, but I'm glad you found us. We look forward to getting started too! You can email: newpatient@rootcausemedical.com
I sleep in sitting position and have cough too. My CT scan and blood work shows everything good but I still don’t feel good. Omeprazole doesn’t help me.
I live in London how can I get in touch with you?
What is the best email we can contact you to setup a zoom health consultation?
Hi Dr Petersen, Ive just discovered your channel, I have a Hiatal Hernia ( very large)I was diagnosed about 2 years ago, I've been suffering with it for 6+ yrs that I know of, I'm nearly 66yo I'm on a waiting list for surgery BUT would RATHER NOT! I'm in Australia how do I find a doctor like yourself? & why after surgery can you not VOMIT?? I really DON'T want surgery BUT I also don't want to live with the excruciating pain & hours of it & not to mention the vomiting for hours & being hospitalised because it's so bad. MY comment symptoms are Chest pains, serve left abdominal pain, vomiting & back pain.
You would need to find a Functional Medicine doctor who specializes in this. I'm so sorry you've been so miserable. Once the hiatal hernia is large, surgery might be your only alternative. You can't vomit afterwards because they literally wrap the neck of your stomach around your esophagus. I wouldn't advise surgery unless that was your only alternative. I wish you lives closer.
@@DrVikkiPetersen Thank you so much for taking time to reply, looks like surgery is my only chance for a normal life, my H-H is 6+cm and it really tests me. thank you once again for your time.
Don't do it they are just after your money
Hi Dr. Petersen, I was diagnosed with HH by a GI specialist who did an endoscopy some years ago. After the procedure, he was rushing and all he did was make me lie down on a bed in the ward and give me a brochure about HH. Then he left! He did not tell me what HH does to me. Now my symptoms are worse. I wish I lived in Florida but I live in British Columbia, Canada. I am wondering how a consultation with you would cost...

@@DrVikkiPetersen Thank you for your reply. I will have to plan for your treatment as I know it will take several consultations and tests. But I will definitely go for your treatment. It might take a while though as I am currently looking for a job. Thanks again.
Do you take Humana insurance?
Dr i am from lebanon i dont know how to treat myself and what exercices should i do .please help me .i suffered from 5 years of anti-acid but in vain
As a Doctor gifted with a hiatal hernia (yes I said gifted) you are correct about the many different associations you mentioned plus...pain...yikes! I will say this...yes it is in your brain, some of those psychological symptoms...the brain has a huge association with the gut and organs. However, the simulation goes BOTH WAYS. Anxiety causes gut symptoms for some. And gut disorders causes Anxiety and mind symptoms... I conclude all science must take into account the mind or it is insufficient and needs to go back until it does.
My symptoms come on with bulging. I was taught by Ayurveda person to drink water. Amazing. Then i have to eat sufficiently. Mine arose because of low intake of protein circumstances 😢. Sometimes I have to lay down to push hernia up and in.
On Drugs to help
Know this patients and doctors...
If you seek the one drug wonder YOU ARE A MAJOR CONTRIBUTOR TO THE NOW EVER PREVALENT DRUG CULTURE. You look up to the Doctor's prescription and look down on the street drug addict 🤔Same ilk!
Good to see you Doc and your group like me in addressing many health issues connection. Good luck to your group 👍🏾
I never had any hernia symptoms before until i did a gastroscopy i don’t know if it irritated something there but I feel the worst in my left sternum just above the stomach.. is it possible that the scope made it worse?
I truly have some type of nerve issues...my piriformis cuts off my sciatic nerve...but something else is going on, like a muscle stuck in my core pushing on other nerves!
Let us know if you want assistance.
