-GERD
-LPR
-Sternum Pain
-Back Pain
-Neck Pain
-Dizziness
-Headaches
-Heart Palpitations
-Panick/Anxiety Attacks

This is something a lot of traditional medicine doctors do not have a great grasp on. I've met many others having doctors simply dismiss them and tell them their hiatal hernia can't cause any problems, I'm here to express that it can and that we need to be our own advocate,
Thank you.
I have been dealing with bloating and sour stomach since my 20's I am 48 now. Didn't find out that this was my issue and pretty severe at this point, until I started the process for bariatric weight loss surgery. Thankfully, they can repair it at the same time as my vertical sleeve gastrectomy. Also found out that being overweight can push the stomach up through the diaphragm. I was also a powelifter for about 5 years. Didn't know that may have contributed to the issue.
All these years I have been hand waved away with IBS, stress/anxiety, poor eating habits (which my surgeon looked at my food journal and said I'm eating the right things just quantity is my issue) I am not a big processed food eater, unless I am somewhere I cannot prepare my own either same day or in advance. Like a theme park vacation for example
Anywho, all that to say it's has been a long time to proper diagnosis and I will be thrilled to not have the awful symptoms anymore.
I was diagnosed with a hiatal hernia 25 years ago. I have suffered from severe acid reflux over the years until I stopped eating gluten, sugar, and dairy last year. I changed my diet when I began having difficulty taking deep breaths, heart palpitations, and chest pain out of the blue last June. I went to the ER 5 times in 3 mos thinking I was having a heart attack but I have had a full workup including an echocardiogram and pulmonary function tests that show my heart and lungs are healthy, yet my symptoms persist. I was dismissed as having an anxiety issue and referred to a psychiatrist for medication which I refuse to take. It is my symptoms that cause me to have anxiety. Not the other way around. I now believe the symptoms are from my hiatal hernia and I am going to see my doctor and ask for a GI consult for possible surgery to repair the hernia because these symptoms are very bothersome. Great video. Thank you for sharing your experience. It helps others.
I was diagnosed 3 months ago. But my first symptom was irregular heartbeat. Honestly I can’t imagine living like this.
I am greatful to have found your post because we have identical symptoms and experiences!
Exactly what I was told I’m miserable
I am so sorry that you are going thru this..I have the same issue! They tried to prescribe me lorazepam, which I refused to take..I don’t have a history of mental illness and I only get anxiety because of my hernia symptoms..Did you have your surgery?? Any relief?? Hope you are feeling better! I know how awful it is :(
Thank you for speaking truth. I totally agree!!! God bless you.
I have the same experiences. I've had Tachycardia as well as a slower heavier geart rate. Definitely scary when it happens. I've had panic attacks at night and during the day. The sternum pain and overall cheat pain is also a common ailment. I hope your doing better, I have come across a great book called the Hiatal Hernia Syndrom. It's been the greatest resource I have on explaining what's going on.
Good video. Hope to see updates from ya in the near future.

Wowww I'm so grateful to stumble across this video and read all the comments.
Sees like everybody is having the same issues with doctors etc it's treated more as a mental health problem than a physical one.
I'm amazed how many side affects this hiatus hernia can cause, I've had mine for 7 years and have had nothing but trouble from reflux,shortness of breath,back pain.
Pleading with doctors for help, but they do the all bloods and the scans and tell you everything is normal????
Hello everyone. I'm sorry for not keeping my word. So much has been going on in my life. We moved, my son was born, I've been busy and put this on the back burner for awhile. I want to thank everyone for watching and for reaching out. I'll be making another video by this weekend for an update. Sorry for the long delay.
Did you ever make the video?
Heath palpitations + panic attacks are more of anxiety and psychological problems.
Yes, of course hiatal hernia causes pressure in the diaphragm, you sometimes have hard time to breathe especially when you try deep belly breathing. It can cause gerd too.
But now who can say: if all these problems are caused by anxiety or gerd, or hiatal hernia? What is the main target? No one really knows.
Burping attacks ( sugar / candida? ) panic attacks / sleep disturbance. Had laparoscopy at 24 for a pelvic infection due to a coil. Burped ever since. Panic attacks since my 40s. Hypothyroidism.
Absolutely awesome video thank u
I’m 38 and I was diagnosed a couple of months ago with a “small” sliding hiatal hernia. Caused by exercise. Doctor even said it couldn’t be causing my symptoms. I get PVCS, fatigue, nausea, burping,chest pain, reflux, dry mouth, indigestion.can’t sit down. Can’t sleep. Doctor says I have anxiety. Well because of this now I do. Is this my life now? Omg
Does it gets worse when lying down
Yes
Go and see a Chiropractor and get an adjustment, they can put your stomach back in place
@@1273mel I’m going to see one even if I have a belly I’m not huge or anything but I have a gut working on my diet tuff and watching wat I eat and how I move
How can exercise make that?
If exercising is strengthening ur core and etc.
Basically if you are doing weights, you should also do stretches before and after ur workout. + work on your posture.
Usually the cause of this is
Stress (nerves "burning out syndrome") or basically ur poor posture.
Really nice listening to u
Very informative
I have it for yrs
Thinking of getting fixed once and for all
You need to pull it down with massager then do set up exercise for 10 minutes morning and evening and tight diaphragm lots of people saying got better and acid reflux Gerd are gone

@@JocelynBautistaG handheld manual massager with 4 round legs

Thank you for this man. I ha e the same symptoms. Started with an episode of a crazy pressure in my chest/upper abdomen that took my breath away badly. Heart palpitations followed and last to this day. Doing any jogging will spik my heart rate. Goes from 80 to 165 in about a minute and a half.
I believe its the up and down motion from the hernia moving.
Had a ct scan and ultrasound that showed gastritis but they didnt mebtion a hernia.
Going to a GI in 2 days and hopefully I get some answers.
What did the Doc. Tell you?

Been having similar symptoms. Silent reflux. Short of breath. Sore throat. Being dismissed as anxiety. Trying to investigate it. Any update for yourself?
Went to ER three times, said I have anxiety, lost 50 lbs got ct scan and xray shown nothing, going to GI in a week, thanks for info

Hi, how is your hernia now? I have the same problem, a was diagnosed with sliding hernia type 2.
Acid reflux Gerd gersto esphagus reflux and heartburn and nausea and vomiting 10 time a day 🥴😭😭😭😭
Same symptoms that I have/had. Have your symptoms improved any? It took me about 1 1/2 to 2 years to get what felt like a full breath again. My Heart palpitations went away after a few months.
Acid reflux Gerd gersto esphagus reflux and heartburn and I vomit 10 time a day 🥴
I have the same
Any update, if you found anything that helped??
I have all those symptoms and have been wondering if it was a hiatal hernia....
How u doin nowadays? Any recovery or surgery?
How are you doing after 2 years plus living with this annoying condition? I'm an old chap (62) from England. I've been a self-employed gardener this last half of my working life...digging and bending and shovelling etc for 25 years! I'm quite certain I too have steadily joined "the Hiatus Hernia club"! (It's such a common condition). But I'm absolutely useless at going to my GP for a check-up. I'm far too chicken! I've already had the common ("down below"!) Inguinal hernias fixed twice. I see you're quite a slim young fellow, like my skinny self and I have a theory that presumably, if you have a shallower chest cavity, like me, any physical intrusion into that space by the Stomach is probably going to be more impactful on the Heart and Lungs. And you may also feel the effects of that intrusion more easily, maybe also because there's less fat around those organs & the nerves. If there's less space up there above the Diaphragm, they'll be more compressed by the Stomach, surely? As you say, most mainstream doctors don't seem to have received training in these other life-limiting, very irritating & sometimes alarming symptoms of a Hiatus hernia. Not for nothing do some call it "The Great Mimic"!
Hi there i have a hiatal hernia. I have really bad shortness of breathe. Can anyone define how their shortness of breathe from hitial hernia feels like?
What’s the update
I have a 2cm one which is causing shortness of breath and epigastric pain and pain between the shoulder blades,did you get yours fixed and how was it fixed?Did you have Nisses,Toupet ot aTif?
sorry to bother you, but I'm having one of those attacks right now. Anything I can do right away?
Do you have trouble belching?
The bendingdown is so badd and sitting or laying down or when you wake up, the stomach is empty it pushes up thats the baddest thing you can have hahaha its so hard until you swallow something to push it alittel down so it gehts better, and guys its normal if you have a issue for longer time to get into your mental head a long issue thing causes you anxiety panickattacks and so on but as soon as. You get it back down youll be alright so dont give a F about it if it comes stay chill call the ambulance tell them that you,have it and that you dont have mental problem, they came to my house so many time if i get to the hospital they say its not because of the hernia because its to small to cause so much problem so it doesnt matter if it is 1cm it can cause big problel to some people and to some not, so everyone of us is different guys
I have had hiatus hernia very long time. But suddenly 2 months ago. I took antibiotics for sore throat which gave me extreme constipation. And next day I got sudden shortness of breath. Dirreaha. Sowllen left chest whatever I eat it just inflame my chest to neck and give me worst pain. I don't know if it is because of antibiotics or hiatus hernia. Every test is normal except hiatus hernia and stomach inflammation. I am also having inflammation in my left colon. I hope it resolve it on its own by time.
always take pro biotics after anitbiotics, because anti biotics wipe everything out... good and bad. Pro biotics help to redress this. It was probably the straining during constipation that contributed to the development of the HH
@@claireleonard7964 they found hiatus hernia and h pylori so far and i am on the way to get treatment for both.
Do natural remedies anti acid cabbage juice and alovera and celery and carrots and red apple 🍎 and kale and spinach and broccoli sprouts and potatoes juice 🙏
My only symptoms are alkaline reflux (sometimes I have silent reflux and it is not cool in the throat area).
But most common symptom for me is burping witch is the most.
Overall I can breath deeply every time and digestion is working very good.
My advice just fucking train= weights, running, bicycle, stretches. And cut off process meat, alcohol and sugar from your diet. That's it. For me it helps.
Tho I can still drink coffee no problems at all.
noone with a HH should do weights, or anything that contracts the abs and adds to the pressure in that area!
Dr jo on you tube , I got my hiatus hernia exercises from there , & my shortness of breath gone , do the simple exercises every morning, 5 mins all I do , , I eat a healthy diet lost a stone round my waist which I believe that helps to , my Acid reflux hardly get it ,only wen I eat bit of rubbish , like fast food you got to have some junk now & again , then I burst out gaviston Advance, then that sorts that out , I weened my self off omeprazole, wot the doc gave me , you see you need Acid in your stomach, any way I’m much better now
do you have any link for it?
@@nenanenica6783 just type in. “ Ask Doctor jo” into TH-cam search
Tengo los mismos síntomas :( hace casi dos años ya, no he podido encontrar mucha información en español, por eso estoy viendo videos en Inglés.
Algún consejo o ejercicio específico para estirar el diafragma?
Hola, yo tampoco he encontrado mucha información. En otros vídeos he visto que algún quiropráctico puede ayudar. Como estás?
It weak diaphragm lack of protein and exercise and muscles and also infection
