Great video! The way you described and illustrated each type of hernia was very helpful. I underwent hiatal hernia repair when I was 9 years old in 1971. I don't remember a lot about that surgery, but I have a really nice scar that runs from just below my left nipple and around to my shoulder blade. LOL...thank goodness they figured out more non-invasive techniques to do this surgery today.
I had to pause the video multiple times to be able to see pictures. Good Dr. Parker has probably not heard the expression 'a picture is worth a thousand words'
Thanks for the explanation! I would like to know what treatments are available, as some people rely on antiacids and stomach wall protectors, but I'm not sure if we can use them on a daily basis. In my case, using those does not help a lot. Other people do some movements or exercises in order to try to bring it down. In other words, when should we think about surgery? Thanks in advance!
I was just diagnosed with hiatal hernia. If I'm able to have surgery, I'm doing it. I want to be able to sleep on my back and not wake up with my throat burning, making me cough, and making my life miserable. I'm tired of throwing up. When I eat, I place a bet with myself as to if I'll keep my food down or not. It's miserable.
I'm having the surgery July 7th. ( in 6 days) I'm little scared but glad to get rid of the acid reflux & pain in my chest when I eat sometimes. Good luck to you.
My moms exbf has one..he throws up sometimes...he mentioned he had a hernia a long time ago..but his heart is only working at 15% so who knows..but he never talks to doctor...i hope you get surgery...acid reflux is horrible let alone the pain... :(
Hi Dr. Parker. I just had an endoscopy and colonoscopy completed 3 days ago, and my GI discovered I have a small Hiatal Hernia along with Antral Gastritis and mild Distal Esophagitis. (Got a stool question coming up for you comment readers: so you've been warned) For the past week, my stools have been on the yellow side with tiny pieces of red in them. My question is if any of these medical impressions can be the cause of this?? He also discovered small hemorrhoids in the colon... FYI.
I have a slider. I have worked it back down several times. Sometimes it goes back quick, other times it can take up to a month. Losing weight has really made a difference for me. I haven't had to do those stomach manipulations since. Great video. The apple core on the desk is a nice touch doc! 😁
Could you do any abdominal exercises coz it’s hard . Every time I try I got this problem I feel my stomach goes up and push my chest or heart then I try to push things down ☺️to feel comfort. Any suggestions regarding exercise?
As I get older I seem to be collecting new allergies and fun digestion problems. Tums are now my best friend.I do believe that I'm experiencing hiatal hernias now. Twice I've experienced the symptoms after eating delicious bacon. It seems to be triggered by greasy and fatty food. Sadly, I have to give the grease and fat up. Thank you for the info.
When I see this post I remember Dr. Ozemoya. It really made me believe in him so much. When he cured me months ago with his herbal treatment from hiatal hernia issues, I really appreciate you very much and he is able to cure you of any disease and also he cured my cousin of ischemic heart disease thanks to him ... if you have any disease you are bathing with let me know ok i can connect you to him or just send me his whatsapp number or email address so i can help you forward it to the doctor .........
Iv had my gallbladder out when I was 21,now 38 I'm having issues with a small hernia(I think) where my scar is ,iv recently started taking digestive enzymes along with vitamin D3,K2,and magnesium citrate am I doing the right things?
Dr. Parker- I am scheduled to have a Nissen Fundoplication and repair a hiatal hernia later this week.....Dr. assures me the recovery should not be that bad but everything I read and see on the computer scares me. He said two weeks down, special diet and only one-night hospital stay. Sounds right?
You're hilarious 😂 I watched The Island USA when it aired over here in the UK and you're such an inspiration. I think I'm your biggest fan ✨ Such helpful videos! Never stop making them :)
I'm not sure if this is what's wrong with me or not. Chest is swollen, can barely eat anything, always nauseated 24/7. I have had this issues for about two years now. Lost about 75 pounds. Not eating has become the norm for me sadly. I wake up and feel bad every morning all day everyday. I will get a doctors appt after two years of dealing with this.
I have seen so many doctors who haven't even bothered to feel my belly or do near enough testing and every symptom I have including pain in the chest especially right under the knob bone. (lack of better word) I also have an umbilical hernia that is painful. I've immediately told to take Omeprazole or other acid reducing medication. I'm so tired of every one bandaiding my problem. I've had both my appendix and portion of my colon removed over 30 years ago because stones formed in my appendix and cut off the blood supply thus gangrene set in and I was misdiagnosed not once but by 3 doctors including an attending in ER. Now I'm having so much problems with my guts I don't know who to trust.or confide in when it comes to my over all health! I feel my situation is hopeless and wonder if I will ever be able to have a normal happy life again.
Ive had a hiatal hernia for around 6 years now and I'm really reaching my witts end because processing food has become too exhausting. Its caused hemorrhoids and sometimes I throw up what I think may be bile but idk. Given what you said about the colon shifting positions as well I would assume I could be suffering from that as well. Doctors dont seem to really want to initiate any sort of surgery and are content with making me live on PPI medication. But I know the PPI is killing me slowly because I cant break nutrients down when I have such a reduction in normal acid levels. I'm caught in a vicious cycle but this video has motivated me to seek out a caring and assertive specialist who can help me have the surgery.
Hi Buck, I'm in to bodybuilding and always trained my core very hard. I rushed myself to the hospital about a year ago when I was doing dips and I felt the extreme symptoms of what you mentioned is a paraesophageal hernia. I do get the `lump` in the throat but rarely ever do I get any kind of reflux, so I assume paraesophageal. At the time it occurred It felt like a balloon was expanding endlessly up into and outward out of my chest - right next to my highest rib on the right side. The ER found nothing wrong at all that night even though I was literally in tears as the discomfort was unreal while trying to hold my arms over my head during the CT scan. Since then I haven't felt the protrusion up into my chest but my whole abdominal wall can take no kind of pressure whatsoever. I've ceased all workout activity because its like my core is extemely overactive even when it shouldn't be. if i exert even the minimum amount of pressure - say carrying a medium weight bag for my girlfriend I will experience extreme distension, my breathing is restricted (diaphram?) and I have to focus my breathing and drink a ton of water in which I assume drops the stomach down to relieve that distension. The only thing I have been positively diagnosed with is a "small" hiatal hernia after a scope done by my GI. He saw me one time, scoped me one time and he says surgery would be more detrimental than good. I very much think otherwise at this point. I've noticed that my abdominal muscles are also separating more and more as the months go by and my symptoms have already caused me to lose my previous job, being intimate is difficult, this issue is ruining my life. All scans and doctors aside from the 'small hernia' diagnosis say nothing is wrong. Through my own tireless research I believe my problems are Diastasis Recti / Abdominal Wall fascia separation and the paraesophageal hernia. 5'10, 170 lbs, otherwise healthy. Can you give me an idea of what you think may be going on and also who to see? Sorry for the long winded text but I'm just throwing rocks out there at this point. -J
Hi buck, I'd been working my core extra hard over a six week period when I getting symptoms of a hiatal hernia (without any GERD) it is awful on so many levels. I love lifting thou I stopped lifting for 3 months and the symptoms reduced. They reduced also because I when from a high protein, low fat diet to a SALAD EVERY DAY with a medium protein , low fat diet. This helped although I still have a lot of belching. Death lift and backwards flips make it much worse. I can to cardio still. Sorry this happen to you.
The Mistborn I have the same issue as you!! And I have that pain in the upper right above ribs going over and across my upper abdomen ! It’s bothersome for years. I also have a protruding belly that looks like a 7 month pregnant woman! I can’t lay on my abdomen when sleeping, I cannot breath, sex is horrible, and I’ve been Belching grossly for 30 years ! I’m fed up and don’t know what to do! I need HELP ASAP
Dr Parker 6 years ago I lost 50 kg. I got gallstones that were operated away. 14 days after surgery, I got a lot of pain. I arrived at the hospital and in a CT scanner. Doctors could see that my whole stomach and a large part of my small intestines were gleaned through a 16x16 cm hole in the diaphragm, and lay between the ribs and the lungs and the heart. Every day I have pain and sometimes get to the hospital and get a probe to empty the stomach. I weigh 130 kg and are not operated added has lost 25kg. It has become very difficult because I no longer tolerate fibrous food while my stomach is lying up there. Have you the same requirements prior to an operation of a sliding hernia? Best regards, Lise Broe
That was very well put and also very informative! I have a question about the ways to diagnose every type of a hiatal hernia! thanks in advance and Good Job!
I occasionally vomit intensely , breaking blood vessels in my face , and actually just required umbilical hernia surgery , I’m certain it was because of violent vomiting and constant coughing from separating . Any opinion on which of those different types of HH might be causing that ? I have already been diagnosed with HH .
Just had a close friend have a level 4 repair. Surgery was at a university setting and very complicated. Surgery was 6 hours due to the high risk patient.

I'm 21 years old male facing chest pain including acute epigastric pain which gets worse in the morning and after taking meals.Chest pain gets worse during sleep and also i get difficulty in swallowing food after doing endoscopy i've been diagnosed for hiatal hernia plz suggest me wat to do???
I suggest making an appointment with a professional that deals with these types of issues. DO a little bit of research to see what health clinics offer.
Not seeing any replays from the dr. Too bad. My doctor doesn't take me serious that I've had no appetite for 20 years. Is the scope down the throat a good test for this? Or something else maybe?
I'm suffering from Hiatal Hernia and GERD. My Xiphoid process is inflamed too. I have been taking Sompraz IT (Esomeprazole (40mg) + Itopride (150mg)) since past 5 years now and I cannot pass even one day without it. If I don't take Sompraz IT then I can't even eat and full of acid reflux, vomits, bile in my mouth etc. Surgery has been ruled out because it is near the valve. Kindly advise
I’ve been experiencing this feeling like something is sitting on my upper stomach below my chest for 3 days now. When I set straight up and breath it’s like a weight or something just their. It’s weird. Can you tell me what this is?
@@neilcielo1568 do you? that's one of my symptoms tho i dont have acid reflux, its just the feeling of fullness in my lower sternum and upper middle abdomen that i feel like i am easily out breath. Do you experience it too?
I have been experiencing globus sensation and finally went to see a doctor about it at a walk in clinic. He prescribed omeprazole and was going to set up an endoscopy but told me to see my primary about this and set it up through her. I'm currently waiting until my appointment. My question is if the globus sensation is caused by a hiatal hernia, would a proton pump inhibitor relieve the sensation of something in throat? If so would a temporary acid reducer like TUMs work the same? I have no symptoms of heartburn whatsoever. I do have difficulty swallowing certain food like rice, raw carrots, popcorn, chips, and other similar items. It just gets stuck and I can't get it to go down until I either follow it with a fluid or I could cough it out, which is proving to be more difficult each time it happens. Thanks :)
just so you and anyone else understands, proton pump inhibitors prevent your stomach from making acid, so you won't be digesting any food while taking the "medicine". You might want to research magnesium in relation to globus sensation. Most people are deficient. For info on the different types and how to help your body absorb/use magnesium, check out Magnesium Advocacy Group on facebook.
I had a repair for type II 5cm para repair a couple days ago. The only pain I am experiencing is in my shoulders and chest from the carbon dioxide gas. Not as bad as I heard from patient testimonials. Have eaten soft foods like mashed potatoes and soft scrambled eggs so far with no issues.
@@stu3775 What an amazing difference. I really healed fast. The carbon dioxide lingered on for about 4 weeks. I eat whatever I want. No problems whatsoever.
@@stu3775 No, Baptist Hospital in Ft Smith, Ark. Dr Akkad was my surgeon. The hernia was very large he said. So a Nissan fundiplacation, mesh and hernia repair was done. I can't tell you how good it feels to be well. Now I have to get my iron up from all the months of bleeding. I had 4 iron infusions
Hi, During endoscopy, Does everyone have alittle sliding hiatal hernia because of them gagging on endoscope, which does not mean they have a defect in the hole or anything just normal 2cm sliding due to gagging? i read they are very common. Also IS a sliding hiatal hernia HARMLESS? and we can forget about it if symptoms are not bad? The only symptom i have is a lump in throat AFTER endoscopy which ive had for over a month. Tried lansoprazole for it but i still have it so it cant be reflux, i wonder what it can be?. The other symptom is a little bit of water/drink coming up after a meal. Which could be normal or because im on ppi and my food is taking time digesting and im over eating/drinking. If i dont take any meds for my 2cm sliding hiatal hernia am i at risk of damage and desease? or am i ok. Oh and Do they stay the same size in most cases?
Shamah Girl hello, same here for me. After endoscopy I had same symptom, never took or am not taking anything. This feeling lasted for about 1 month and since then this feeling comes and goes . How are you doing now ? When they gave you your endoscopy results did you have damage in your esophagus?
Hello Doc :) . Question , im not sure if i have hiatal hernia i keep having symptoms of GERD and my doc says i have a definite stomach issue. I have 2 questions , 1. can hiatal hernia cause referred pain in the left arm? and 2. how can I tell if i have hiatal hernia at home. Are there any sure fire tests that can tell me? My doctor seems convinced i do not have one and wont do ultrasound. (woohoo hmo health care) I keep feeling spasms or palpatation like feelings at the bottom of my breast bone and it always takes my breath away. I feel fatigued and generally horrible. I first thought I had heart attacks or angina but I have been to emergency many times(3 -4 trips) and everytime my heart checks ok(blood test, ekg) ! even on stress test! Thanks so much if you get to this . This issue has changed my life for a year. I feel like im my own dr these days :(
The doctors will normally do a CT Scan to reveal that you have a hiatal hernia. The best course of action for most people would be to get surgery to fix it. I have a similar case as you and I am planning on getting surgery to fix it.
I have been having a few problems for over a year and I suspect this maybe something to do with a hiatus hernia, GP just keeps giving me anti-acid medication which does not help. My symptoms, pain in centre of chest which gets worse with movement like bending. No heartburn symptoms, extra pain when eating and sometimes I feel lightheaded and dizzy when swallowing. These symptoms last for a few day and then clears and then returns back every few weeks. Buck Parker M.D have you ever come across someone with these symptoms?
I had the one where my whole stomach flipped upside down and twisted and ended up in the chest cavity. I could not hold anything down and had to have surgery to get everything back in place
Are you doing ok now? I have heard scary things about the surgery. Like not being able to burp/throw up and it ripping causing it to come back. I need surgery but I am scared.
Squid SQuiddly! yes Im doing great. I heard that too I have not had to throw up so far LOL but burping is not a problem. got a very good surgeon. he is actually a bariatric surgeonand also did my husbands gall bladder surgery.. good luck
@@pattybips5519 thank you for the info! I was diagnosed with antral gastritis and a small hiatal hernia and keep getting pulses of pain so I need to look into another doc I think
Interesting video. I found out earlier this year that they discovered I had a hiatal hernia in 2008. No one mentioned it to me. Now I am having dsyphagia and I can't help but wonder if the hernia is causing it. I had another Endoscopy earlier this year and it stated "A hiatal hernia was seen at the distal esophagus with the GE junction at 35 cm". Does that mean that the stomach has 35 cm above that hole? Is that common?
I've had this pain under my left rib...it's always bothering me and when it gets bad the pain will go to the lower right rib....I get this weird small burning sensations in my guts when it gets bad plus bloating and the feeling of not wanting to eat (lost 30 pounds)...had a colonoscopy, upper GI, ultrasound on my gallbladder and blood work... everything came back fine....I don't know what to do now
Well I've been doing the exercises and stretches and I'll be honest I'm like 80 percent better....how could the doctors miss this after all the test that I had done....wish I would have looked this up sooner.....would have saved me thousands of dollars and alot of discomfort
I suffered from hiatal hernia over the years and I spent a lot of time and money looking for permanent cure until I met Dr Ozemoya who helped me cured it permanently with his herbal medicine
My father has this type 3 hernia? any idea what causing this hernia? is it because of long term medication? my father was on this carvedilol 12.5mg daily. Thanks advance your reply...
well i'm not sure if anyone knows 100%. however if you think about it, it's increased intra-abdominal pressure that widens the hole around the esophagus. so obesity can certainly predispose someone to that but I see very thin people with it all the time, which makes me think the tissues aren't as strong there for some people or that there is some anatomic position that person has which causes a weakness in the tissue somehow.
I’ve had hiatal hernia repair done twice, once in 94 and the 2nd time in 2002. I am in so much pain from this issue. The 2nd surgery almost killed me. I ended up in ICU for a week and 2 more weeks in a hospital bed. So getting a third operation is not in the cards for me. The first surgery they cut me from belly button to sternum and the 2nd surgery they tried to reopen the same are but due to scar tissue they ended up cutting open my chest on my left side. I am in constant pain under my ribs and from being bloated. Can these exercises help or am I stuck with a lifetime of pain? I need help, but lost my insurances, so i at the end of my rope.
Sept. 2020 I had Hiatal Hernia surgery fundoplication. Slide hernia recently I had a upper GI and found that residual media remained at the opening where the fundoplication was done. Another visit to the surgeon was told that I had to lose some weight on the stomach if a repair is necessary as the hernia wrap was loose . Is this common for a do over surgery . I was in the hospital for 6 days as I had nausea and loss of appetite which was a concern of the surgeon. Thank you for the presentation.
I just got diagnosed with a hiatal Hernia. Not sure the type. My pcp won’t refer me to anyone to resolve it. Stating the surgery is too complicated. I have severe reflux to the point of vomiting with constant cough. Cannot sleep on my right side anymore. Any recommendations? Thank you 🙏
Hey Randall... I was told by my Gastroenterologist to sleep on your left side. I put a pillow between my knees, and I use a soft neck pillow to slightly elevate my head. I hope this advice will help you sleep better at night. Take care! Getting my surgery done very soon before I get too old.
How can I know what kind of hernia I have if your only showing stomachs? Obviously I don’t know what’s going on inside my stomach only what’s on my chest!
hello can you explain about patient who already have heart operation ,can that patient have hiatal hernia operation my wife hernia swell up and have breathing problems we have seen consultant he said it's not good for her to have the operation he said it cause more harm than good but now she is suffering in breathing in and out ,do make another request to the Dr, to see her .
I have a very heavy chest with alot of pressure. It started in my stomach and has went into my chest. I feel a little nauseous somedays and my anxiety gets awful because I think its my heart. Im 36 healthy other that colitis. Ive had ekgs blood test and xrays to check my heart and lungs and all was good. But im going to see my gi today. Have you ever heard of this. I. Taking pepcid now
Heather-Renee Adams same boat, im 29 slight chrons disease but other then that nothing. drives my anxiety crazy thinking im gonna die. had an ekg and all that and they couldnt find anything, got an endoscopy and they said it was a small hiatal hernia. it may br what you have, even knowing that thought it is still very scary
Same symptoms! Went to the ER and said I’m perfectly healthy - bloodwork, you name it. I kept telling my husband I’m going to die because my breathing feels not stabilized. I saw a holistic doctor and he knew within a few min that it’s a hiatal hernia. I believe this can only be fixed or relieved with diet change and breathing techniques. That has helped me a lot, but still not 100% gone. Any updates on your end?! I would love to know!
No up date from the doctors, it's actually gotten alot better with just change in diet but I hope you guy's are doing better. It's still there just not as intence
Heather-Renee Adams thats good to hear. Unfortunately Instarted having atrial fibrillations this past week, and still they find nothing in my blood or xrays or anything
is it possible to have a hiatal hernia without any problems of heartburn or acid reflux? i believe i have a hernia located just above my belly button. it feels as if my stomach has pushed through my abdominal wall? it is senitive and painful at times - but the pain goes away, especially if i lay down. what type of surgeon would i need to see? thanks for any help that you can offer.
Yes, it is possible to have a hiatal hernia without any problems of heartburn or acid reflux, BUT if you leave it alone, these problems will manifest themselves. The best course of action would be surgery to fix the hiatal hernia.
I’m 16 and just had a endoscopy done they said I have a hiatal hernia but they said I’m too young to get it fixed and that I need to wait til I’m in my 20’s. I keep having a lot of problems with it and medicine isn’t really working. Am I really too young to get it fixed?
dr said my stomach is behind my heart. getting a scope done soon. does this for sure mean surgery, i have no bad issues with it, i take prilosec for acid. also, the radiologist called it a large???
I figured I would ask this question while I am waiting for my doctors appointment. Any thoughts, or advice would be helpful. Are consistent nausea and throwing up symptoms of a hiatal hernia? This is happening to me about one time per month for 6 months. My doctor has ran bunch of tests and everything has come back normal. I usually experience general nausea, but I throw up about one time per month and it lasts about two days and it takes me around four days to gain my energy back. It feels like having food poisoning or the flu. I am having a hard time eating as well. I have anxiety around eating because the throwing up has made me so traumatized. In this past month I am getting heartburn pretty bad.

I had a CT scan for my heart, nothing serious but it also revealed I that I also have a tiny hiatal hernia. Apparently they're very common. I had the privilege of having one detected, but now I'm wondering if this is the cause of acid reflux or gastrointestinal problems yet people don't know it.
My friend had 2 ops and it didn't work she still in pain and reflux my doctor told me not to have op unless necessary i take natural things to help it iam not overweight certain foods get it going also i had low hydrochloric acid but is normal now had nexium for awhile made it worse no drugs now having a endescope soon again
What is a cardioesophageal hernia? I have this and im struggling to breathe, which is affecting my sleep 😭 it's ruining my whole life and I cant even function anymore
Hello DR. Buck. Hopefully you see this. I have a slip hiatial hernia and have been getting random 10/10 agonizing sharp pains in the lower center of chest that only go away if I walk around grabbing my chest and gasping to breathe. It is unbearable. Is this normal? It happens after a small meal/when sitting/lying down. It is ruining my life
Hi ! Is possible for hetal hernia not to show on the test ? I do have all the symptoms of hetal hernia but did not show in endoscopy or ultrasound . Hopefully I here back from you thanks
i think if it did not show up on those I would do an esophogram. its where you swallow contrast material and they do a live x-ray watching how the esophagus works in real time.
My mom in law had a hiatal hernia it was number 4 we found out wen we were in ermocillo México and she had surgery there unfortunately the staff there was horrible and they were unprofessional no cleanliness and no they didn’t use gloves or protective gear wen going patient to patient she was septic already but caught staff and pseudomonas infection her left lung collapsed and they removed her stomach and some intestine were they attached her intestine to esophagus it did not heal and created a hole so every time she swallowed it will accumulate in the lung cavity that’s were the pseudomonas festered by the time we got her back to Tucson AZ her blood count was at 9 and too top it of she is Jahova witness and she will not accept a transfusion so she was already on life support Banner Hospital accepted her on December 2 2018 and they ran test and told us she was not going to make it and just keep her comfortable till she passed we fought and in she had a tracheotomy, bed sore, chest tube, and was on TPN on the 3rd day she got to Banner she woke up and she was coherent a stent was put in in the esophagus were it connected to the intestine to stop the leakage antibiotics were given for infections it helped kill the bacteria she went into a rehabilitation center and she got weened off the trachea slowly getting her movement back in April 6 she had a bowl obstruction she had surgery and on April 14 she went back home she has healed very well but at the moment she still had the ostomy bag and a fistula by her incision but her incision has closed and bed sore but now the only problem she has is bile reflux irritation on the esophagus it’s so bad they had to put the stent back to prevent the esophagus from closing up I’m so sorry for the long story but we are desperate on stopping that reflux because the stent can only stay fo four months is there any advice you can give us and so sorry for the bad grammar 😊
@@drbuckparker Interesting. Thanks. I think i have damage to phrenic nerve from a horrific medication injury. My diaphragm was just stopping on and off numerous times, stopping my breathing.
Thank you. I had a gastroenterology report that said i have a large @36cm hiatal hernia. I have trouble deep breathing using abdomen and also stomach ache after eating meals. Should i go for a surgery?
Rachelann Naces thank you Rachelann for your reply. Can you guide me more about what to eat and how to exercise? You can add me on skype @ username: touq.eer and we can have a conversation over there. Or use my email touqeer@wirestorm.us. I will be waiting for your response. It is very important to me! Thanks
Touqeer Abbas are you sure its 36 cm and not 3-6 cm? ive just been diagnised with a 2cm sliding hiatus hernia and i looked up the risks and it said cancer of the foid pipe. Im sooo scared now :( i dont take any meds because my symptoms are bearable but im scared ill end up with cancer.
Sometimes the only relief is surgery. I had a Hiatal Hernia repaired after being so sick especially the last 3 years before the surgery. The slow process of healing after the surgery takes a year, eating small soft meals for easy digestion and drinking smoothies especially for dinner otherwise it is hard to sleep. I am so grateful for my surgery in spite of the hard painful recovery with diet.
Can you make a video on how to treat this condition.. im 22 years old and this is really ruining my life.. i was in the hospital few times and they told me that this condition cant be treated, basically that i have to live with it.. i started to massage my stomach and it gets better from time to time, i can feel my stomach going down, i usually feel a beat below my diaphragm, but after 30min of massaging it goes down to my belly button and i can eat again. It goes back up when i get really upset or do some heavy lifting. Is there any way to get this off my back for good?
@@Beast_10xX yea I had a bulge and it was hard too. But it's better now. Went from hospital to hospital vomiting like a mad man and noone could help. Then I went to a lady that does massages and all kind of things. She put my stomach back in place and gave me things to drink and eat, all natural. I gained few kilos now and can eat normally. But I have to be careful what I eat and how much.
@@queZxXx good to hear that, emm i just want to ask you did you have a large or small hernia, i suspect i have a hernia, my symptoms are pulsing in the left rib cage, bloating, discomfort in the lower chest that come and go is it a hernia? Or just gerd? I dont have difficulty swallowing or heart burn im skinny
@@Beast_10xX I had and probably still have a hernia. The symptoms can vary, I unfortunately got the delux packet lol. I don't know if you have a hernia but try laying on your back and feeling the pulse. You said you have a pulse in the left rib cage? You should only feel the pulse little bit above your belly button. Dunno what your symptoms are but check it out, better safe than sorry. Try sleeping on your back if you can, and have a nice breakfast in the morning so you aren't on an empty stomach :) if you need help with anything just ask and I'll do my best to help you
Buck Parker, M.D. but silent reflux can cause cancer too cant it? Are we not risking it by leaving it? I dont take any meds because my symptoms arn't bad. But im.scared of getting damage and cancer caused by silent reflux
That is exactly my concern! The diaphragm is loose for 2 cms. I’m given Ranitiden for 3 months to lower acidity of the stomach. But this does not sound to be permanent solution :(
I was convinced I had a Hiatal hernia. I had acid reflux, upper abdominal aches(around the diaphragm) upper abdomen tension. After these tests: 1) upper GI endoscopy 2) barium x ray test 3) Esophageal manometry test, all ruled out I don't have a hiatal hernia. My Dr. Told me it was due to stress and anxiety. Which is true. Whenever I'm in peace, I don't have any symptoms at all. Even my sister, my aunt and one of my cousins have anxiety and gets the same symptoms as me whenever they're stressed
I have one. Don't know what kind but it gives me shallow breathing and extremely painful pinching feeling right around my bottom left rib. What would be recommended? Nothing seems to fix it
ok so it's been confirmed then. i'm not sure if it's causing the symptoms you describe as pinching in the left upper abdomen/lower chest tho. Have not had a lot of patients say that specifically. Most have reflux, or some vague upper abdominal pain.
can an endoscopy procedure show if this is what i have going on with me? tightness across mid abdomen, especially when i get up to walk. feels extra tight after meals.
there are a couple tests for this. one is endoscopy and the other is esophogram (you swallow some contrast and they take a live x-ray and watch to see if you have a hiatal hernia and or reflux)
Hi I have large hiatal hernia And one Doctor says I shouldn’t go to the gym anymore,And other say that i can go to the gym with lighter weights.what do you think of this-Because gym is my life?
Hello Dr. I cannot find any info online about this, so I thought I would ask. How do I know if I have A hiatal hernia or GERD? I’m scheduled to have a LINX surgery, as I do have a weak LES. But I kind of want to just get my 2cmm sliding hernia fixed first to see if it’ll resolve my issues first. If it doesn’t, then do the linx. Please help me with your opinion. I really need help deciding 😢 thanks 🙏🏼

Great video! The way you described and illustrated each type of hernia was very helpful. I underwent hiatal hernia repair when I was 9 years old in 1971. I don't remember a lot about that surgery, but I have a really nice scar that runs from just below my left nipple and around to my shoulder blade. LOL...thank goodness they figured out more non-invasive techniques to do this surgery today.
I had to pause the video multiple times to be able to see pictures. Good Dr. Parker has probably not heard the expression 'a picture is worth a thousand words'
Thanks for the explanation! I would like to know what treatments are available, as some people rely on antiacids and stomach wall protectors, but I'm not sure if we can use them on a daily basis. In my case, using those does not help a lot. Other people do some movements or exercises in order to try to bring it down. In other words, when should we think about surgery? Thanks in advance!
Do you have any videos explaining the surgery options for correcting this?
There are several options such as a Nissan fundoplication, transoral incisionless fundoplication, etc.
Very smart this reminds be of my father he was a Nero surgeon but is in heaven now! Great video!
Wow, that was more than 1,950 years ago!
whiteknightcat ?????
You said your father was a Nero surgeon. This year is 2018, and Nero lived from 37 to 68 AD, so your father was his surgeon more than 1,950 years ago.
lmaooo wtf
@@whiteknightcat LOL WTF
I was just diagnosed with hiatal hernia. If I'm able to have surgery, I'm doing it. I want to be able to sleep on my back and not wake up with my throat burning, making me cough, and making my life miserable. I'm tired of throwing up. When I eat, I place a bet with myself as to if I'll keep my food down or not. It's miserable.
how u doing now bro
I've had this thing for at least 11 years... Just got diagnosed at 32 after an endoscopy
I'm having the surgery July 7th. ( in 6 days)
I'm little scared but glad to get rid of the acid reflux & pain in my chest when I eat sometimes.
Good luck to you.
My moms exbf has one..he throws up sometimes...he mentioned he had a hernia a long time ago..but his heart is only working at 15% so who knows..but he never talks to doctor...i hope you get surgery...acid reflux is horrible let alone the pain... :(

Hi Dr. Parker. I just had an endoscopy and colonoscopy completed 3 days ago, and my GI discovered I have a small Hiatal Hernia along with Antral Gastritis and mild Distal Esophagitis. (Got a stool question coming up for you comment readers: so you've been warned) For the past week, my stools have been on the yellow side with tiny pieces of red in them. My question is if any of these medical impressions can be the cause of this?? He also discovered small hemorrhoids in the colon... FYI.

I sometimes have to slow the video speed.
I have a slider. I have worked it back down several times. Sometimes it goes back quick, other times it can take up to a month. Losing weight has really made a difference for me. I haven't had to do those stomach manipulations since.
Great video. The apple core on the desk is a nice touch doc! 😁
Could you do any abdominal exercises coz it’s hard . Every time I try I got this problem I feel my stomach goes up and push my chest or heart then I try to push things down ☺️to feel comfort. Any suggestions regarding exercise?
As I get older I seem to be collecting new allergies and fun digestion problems. Tums are now my best friend.I do believe that I'm experiencing hiatal hernias now. Twice I've experienced the symptoms after eating delicious bacon. It seems to be triggered by greasy and fatty food. Sadly, I have to give the grease and fat up. Thank you for the info.
When I see this post I remember Dr. Ozemoya. It really made me believe in him so much. When he cured me months ago with his herbal treatment from hiatal hernia issues, I really appreciate you very much and he is able to cure you of any disease and also he cured my cousin of ischemic heart disease thanks to him ... if you have any disease you are bathing with let me know ok i can connect you to him or just send me his whatsapp number or email address so i can help you forward it to the doctor .........
Iv had my gallbladder out when I was 21,now 38 I'm having issues with a small hernia(I think) where my scar is ,iv recently started taking digestive enzymes along with vitamin D3,K2,and magnesium citrate am I doing the right things?
How you doing any update?
Dr. Parker- I am scheduled to have a Nissen Fundoplication and repair a hiatal hernia later this week.....Dr. assures me the recovery should not be that bad but everything I read and see on the computer scares me. He said two weeks down, special diet and only one-night hospital stay. Sounds right?
How did your surgery go?
You're hilarious 😂 I watched The Island USA when it aired over here in the UK and you're such an inspiration. I think I'm your biggest fan ✨ Such helpful videos! Never stop making them :)
haha thank you so much!!!! i will keep going!
I'm not sure if this is what's wrong with me or not. Chest is swollen, can barely eat anything, always nauseated 24/7. I have had this issues for about two years now. Lost about 75 pounds. Not eating has become the norm for me sadly. I wake up and feel bad every morning all day everyday. I will get a doctors appt after two years of dealing with this.
Sounds like u seriously need to see a doc!! Don’t mess around go in and see one!
Angelsk101 how it went?
RUclips2018 the same thing pls if you visted a doctor tell me cuz our medicen is not as developed as yours
I have seen so many doctors who haven't even bothered to feel my belly or do near enough testing and every symptom I have including pain in the chest especially right under the knob bone. (lack of better word) I also have an umbilical hernia that is painful. I've immediately told to take Omeprazole or other acid reducing medication. I'm so tired of every one bandaiding my problem. I've had both my appendix and portion of my colon removed over 30 years ago because stones formed in my appendix and cut off the blood supply thus gangrene set in and I was misdiagnosed not once but by 3 doctors including an attending in ER. Now I'm having so much problems with my guts I don't know who to trust.or confide in when it comes to my over all health! I feel my situation is hopeless and wonder if I will ever be able to have a normal happy life again.
Ive had a hiatal hernia for around 6 years now and I'm really reaching my witts end because processing food has become too exhausting. Its caused hemorrhoids and sometimes I throw up what I think may be bile but idk. Given what you said about the colon shifting positions as well I would assume I could be suffering from that as well. Doctors dont seem to really want to initiate any sort of surgery and are content with making me live on PPI medication. But I know the PPI is killing me slowly because I cant break nutrients down when I have such a reduction in normal acid levels. I'm caught in a vicious cycle but this video has motivated me to seek out a caring and assertive specialist who can help me have the surgery.
I have had surgery. But I still have to drink mirlax daily to have a bowl movement. I feel nauseous and sick fatigue etc…!
Hi Buck,
I'm in to bodybuilding and always trained my core very hard. I rushed myself to the hospital about a year ago when I was doing dips and I felt the extreme symptoms of what you mentioned is a paraesophageal hernia. I do get the `lump` in the throat but rarely ever do I get any kind of reflux, so I assume paraesophageal. At the time it occurred It felt like a balloon was expanding endlessly up into and outward out of my chest - right next to my highest rib on the right side. The ER found nothing wrong at all that night even though I was literally in tears as the discomfort was unreal while trying to hold my arms over my head during the CT scan.
Since then I haven't felt the protrusion up into my chest but my whole abdominal wall can take no kind of pressure whatsoever. I've ceased all workout activity because its like my core is extemely overactive even when it shouldn't be. if i exert even the minimum amount of pressure - say carrying a medium weight bag for my girlfriend I will experience extreme distension, my breathing is restricted (diaphram?) and I have to focus my breathing and drink a ton of water in which I assume drops the stomach down to relieve that distension.
The only thing I have been positively diagnosed with is a "small" hiatal hernia after a scope done by my GI. He saw me one time, scoped me one time and he says surgery would be more detrimental than good. I very much think otherwise at this point. I've noticed that my abdominal muscles are also separating more and more as the months go by and my symptoms have already caused me to lose my previous job, being intimate is difficult, this issue is ruining my life. All scans and doctors aside from the 'small hernia' diagnosis say nothing is wrong. Through my own tireless research I believe my problems are Diastasis Recti / Abdominal Wall fascia separation and the paraesophageal hernia. 5'10, 170 lbs, otherwise healthy. Can you give me an idea of what you think may be going on and also who to see? Sorry for the long winded text but I'm just throwing rocks out there at this point. -J
Man that is tough. Why don't you email me and we can chat about it. drbuckparker@gmail.com
Hi buck, I'd been working my core extra hard over a six week period when I getting symptoms of a hiatal hernia (without any GERD) it is awful on so many levels. I love lifting thou I stopped lifting for 3 months and the symptoms reduced. They reduced also because I when from a high protein, low fat diet to a SALAD EVERY DAY with a medium protein , low fat diet. This helped although I still have a lot of belching. Death lift and backwards flips make it much worse. I can to cardio still. Sorry this happen to you.

Dr Parker
6 years ago I lost 50 kg. I got gallstones that were operated away. 14 days after surgery, I got a lot of pain. I arrived at the hospital and in a CT scanner. Doctors could see that my whole stomach and a large part of my small intestines were gleaned through a 16x16 cm hole in the diaphragm, and lay between the ribs and the lungs and the heart. Every day I have pain and sometimes get to the hospital and get a probe to empty the stomach. I weigh 130 kg and are not operated added has lost 25kg. It has become very difficult because I no longer tolerate fibrous food while my stomach is lying up there. Have you the same requirements prior to an operation of a sliding hernia? Best regards, Lise Broe
That was very well put and also very informative! I have a question about the ways to diagnose every type of a hiatal hernia! thanks in advance and Good Job!
I occasionally vomit intensely , breaking blood vessels in my face , and actually just required umbilical hernia surgery , I’m certain it was because of violent vomiting and constant coughing from separating . Any opinion on which of those different types of HH might be causing that ? I have already been diagnosed with HH .
Thanking you, sat in the house during this headache and somehow developed 2 small ones, nice to get a bit info.

I have been experiencing globus sensation and finally went to see a doctor about it at a walk in clinic. He prescribed omeprazole and was going to set up an endoscopy but told me to see my primary about this and set it up through her. I'm currently waiting until my appointment. My question is if the globus sensation is caused by a hiatal hernia, would a proton pump inhibitor relieve the sensation of something in throat? If so would a temporary acid reducer like TUMs work the same? I have no symptoms of heartburn whatsoever. I do have difficulty swallowing certain food like rice, raw carrots, popcorn, chips, and other similar items. It just gets stuck and I can't get it to go down until I either follow it with a fluid or I could cough it out, which is proving to be more difficult each time it happens. Thanks :)
hard to tell. i think a trial of the proton pump inhibitor is reasonable in the meantime while you are waiting for the scope.
just so you and anyone else understands, proton pump inhibitors prevent your stomach from making acid, so you won't be digesting any food while taking the "medicine". You might want to research magnesium in relation to globus sensation. Most people are deficient. For info on the different types and how to help your body absorb/use magnesium, check out Magnesium Advocacy Group on facebook.
I had a repair for type II 5cm para repair a couple days ago. The only pain I am experiencing is in my shoulders and chest from the carbon dioxide gas. Not as bad as I heard from patient testimonials. Have eaten soft foods like mashed potatoes and soft scrambled eggs so far with no issues.

Hi, During endoscopy, Does everyone have alittle sliding hiatal hernia because of them gagging on endoscope, which does not mean they have a defect in the hole or anything just normal 2cm sliding due to gagging? i read they are very common. Also IS a sliding hiatal hernia HARMLESS? and we can forget about it if symptoms are not bad? The only symptom i have is a lump in throat AFTER endoscopy which ive had for over a month. Tried lansoprazole for it but i still have it so it cant be reflux, i wonder what it can be?. The other symptom is a little bit of water/drink coming up after a meal. Which could be normal or because im on ppi and my food is taking time digesting and im over eating/drinking. If i dont take any meds for my 2cm sliding hiatal hernia am i at risk of damage and desease? or am i ok. Oh and Do they stay the same size in most cases?
Shamah Girl hello, same here for me. After endoscopy I had same symptom, never took or am not taking anything. This feeling lasted for about 1 month and since then this feeling comes and goes . How are you doing now ? When they gave you your endoscopy results did you have damage in your esophagus?

My doctor seems convinced i do not have one and wont do ultrasound. (woohoo hmo health care) I keep feeling spasms or palpatation like feelings at the bottom of my breast bone and it always takes my breath away. I feel fatigued and generally horrible. I first thought I had heart attacks or angina but I have been to emergency many times(3 -4 trips) and everytime my heart checks ok(blood test, ekg) ! even on stress test! Thanks so much if you get to this . This issue has changed my life for a year. I feel like im my own dr these days :(
Reggie Gage I have the same issue and have gotten no good answers from doctors
The doctors will normally do a CT Scan to reveal that you have a hiatal hernia. The best course of action for most people would be to get surgery to fix it. I have a similar case as you and I am planning on getting surgery to fix it.

I have been having a few problems for over a year and I suspect this maybe something to do with a hiatus hernia, GP just keeps giving me anti-acid medication which does not help. My symptoms, pain in centre of chest which gets worse with movement like bending. No heartburn symptoms, extra pain when eating and sometimes I feel lightheaded and dizzy when swallowing. These symptoms last for a few day and then clears and then returns back every few weeks. Buck Parker M.D have you ever come across someone with these symptoms?
I had the one where my whole stomach flipped upside down and twisted and ended up in the chest cavity. I could not hold anything down and had to have surgery to get everything back in place
Are you doing ok now? I have heard scary things about the surgery. Like not being able to burp/throw up and it ripping causing it to come back. I need surgery but I am scared.
Squid SQuiddly! yes Im doing great. I heard that too I have not had to throw up so far LOL but burping is not a problem. got a very good surgeon. he is actually a bariatric surgeonand also did my husbands gall bladder surgery.. good luck

Interesting video. I found out earlier this year that they discovered I had a hiatal hernia in 2008. No one mentioned it to me. Now I am having dsyphagia and I can't help but wonder if the hernia is causing it. I had another Endoscopy earlier this year and it stated "A hiatal hernia was seen at the distal esophagus with the GE junction at 35 cm". Does that mean that the stomach has 35 cm above that hole? Is that common?
Very informative, thank you so much!
I've had this pain under my left rib...it's always bothering me and when it gets bad the pain will go to the lower right rib....I get this weird small burning sensations in my guts when it gets bad plus bloating and the feeling of not wanting to eat (lost 30 pounds)...had a colonoscopy, upper GI, ultrasound on my gallbladder and blood work... everything came back fine....I don't know what to do now
Well I've been doing the exercises and stretches and I'll be honest I'm like 80 percent better....how could the doctors miss this after all the test that I had done....wish I would have looked this up sooner.....would have saved me thousands of dollars and alot of discomfort
I have hital hernia and gastritis what can I do to prevent flare ups
So sorry my friend, how are you feeling today
I suffered from hiatal hernia over the years and I spent a lot of time and money looking for permanent cure until I met Dr Ozemoya who helped me cured it permanently with his herbal medicine
My father has this type 3 hernia? any idea what causing this hernia? is it because of long term medication? my father was on this carvedilol 12.5mg daily. Thanks advance your reply...
well i'm not sure if anyone knows 100%. however if you think about it, it's increased intra-abdominal pressure that widens the hole around the esophagus. so obesity can certainly predispose someone to that but I see very thin people with it all the time, which makes me think the tissues aren't as strong there for some people or that there is some anatomic position that person has which causes a weakness in the tissue somehow.
I’m thin and I’ve got it, recently done the endoscopy. I so surprised! I’m also thinking some sort of position may have caused it! No idea....
I have a hiatal hernia can you tell me if I’m not allowed to lift anything heavy
I’ve had hiatal hernia repair done twice, once in 94 and the 2nd time in 2002. I am in so much pain from this issue. The 2nd surgery almost killed me. I ended up in ICU for a week and 2 more weeks in a hospital bed. So getting a third operation is not in the cards for me. The first surgery they cut me from belly button to sternum and the 2nd surgery they tried to reopen the same are but due to scar tissue they ended up cutting open my chest on my left side. I am in constant pain under my ribs and from being bloated. Can these exercises help or am I stuck with a lifetime of pain? I need help, but lost my insurances, so i at the end of my rope.

Another visit to the surgeon was told that I had to lose some weight on the stomach if a repair is necessary as the hernia wrap was loose . Is this common for a do over surgery .

Same symptoms! Went to the ER and said I’m perfectly healthy - bloodwork, you name it. I kept telling my husband I’m going to die because my breathing feels not stabilized.
I saw a holistic doctor and he knew within a few min that it’s a hiatal hernia. I believe this can only be fixed or relieved with diet change and breathing techniques. That has helped me a lot, but still not 100% gone. Any updates on your end?! I would love to know!

is it possible to have a hiatal hernia without any problems of heartburn or acid reflux? i believe i have a hernia located just above my belly button. it feels as if my stomach has pushed through my abdominal wall? it is senitive and painful at times - but the pain goes away, especially if i lay down. what type of surgeon would i need to see? thanks for any help that you can offer.
Yes, it is possible to have a hiatal hernia without any problems of heartburn or acid reflux, BUT if you leave it alone, these problems will manifest themselves. The best course of action would be surgery to fix the hiatal hernia.
Is this something different than hiatal enlargement or are they synonymous?
Is this what happens after ive eaten then cough then my chest feels like its been filled with something
I’m 16 and just had a endoscopy done they said I have a hiatal hernia but they said I’m too young to get it fixed and that I need to wait til I’m in my 20’s. I keep having a lot of problems with it and medicine isn’t really working. Am I really too young to get it fixed?
its young but i did fix one on a 17 year old and he is doing great

Hey Mr. Buck Parker I have a question for you related to the chest diaphragm . Can you please tell me about that??
Excellent video very clear and helpful.. Thank you kindly 👍
My advice for this video would be a slower introduction of you name, can be miss heard.
His name is on screen. I agree he is fast talking.
I figured I would ask this question while I am waiting for my doctors appointment. Any thoughts, or advice would be helpful. Are consistent nausea and throwing up symptoms of a hiatal hernia? This is happening to me about one time per month for 6 months. My doctor has ran bunch of tests and everything has come back normal. I usually experience general nausea, but I throw up about one time per month and it lasts about two days and it takes me around four days to gain my energy back. It feels like having food poisoning or the flu. I am having a hard time eating as well. I have anxiety around eating because the throwing up has made me so traumatized. In this past month I am getting heartburn pretty bad.
When I see this post I remember Dr. Ozemoya. It really made me believe in him so much. When he cured me months ago with his herbal treatment from hiatal hernia issues, I really appreciate you very much and he is able to cure you of any disease and also he cured my cousin of ischemic heart disease thanks to him ... if you have any disease you are bathing with let me know ok i can connect you to him or just send me his whatsapp number or email address so i can help you forward it to the doctor .........
I had a CT scan for my heart, nothing serious but it also revealed I that I also have a tiny hiatal hernia. Apparently they're very common. I had the privilege of having one detected, but now I'm wondering if this is the cause of acid reflux or gastrointestinal problems yet people don't know it.
Yes.. especially if they progress and enlarge
My friend had 2 ops and it didn't work she still in pain and reflux my doctor told me not to have op unless necessary i take natural things to help it iam not overweight certain foods get it going also i had low hydrochloric acid but is normal now had nexium for awhile made it worse no drugs now having a endescope soon again

Can hiatel hernia cause hoarseness?
Is hernia dangerous?
Yes it is. If not taken care of
Hello DR. Buck. Hopefully you see this. I have a slip hiatial hernia and have been getting random 10/10 agonizing sharp pains in the lower center of chest that only go away if I walk around grabbing my chest and gasping to breathe. It is unbearable. Is this normal? It happens after a small meal/when sitting/lying down. It is ruining my life
I feel the same
This is me everyday. Did u get any help?
I think that's a rolling hernia not a sliding one.
Hi ! Is possible for hetal hernia not to show on the test ? I do have all the symptoms of hetal hernia but did not show in endoscopy or ultrasound . Hopefully I here back from you thanks
i think if it did not show up on those I would do an esophogram. its where you swallow contrast material and they do a live x-ray watching how the esophagus works in real time.
Buck Parker, M.D. Thank you very mouch I will ask my Doc
fatos ad i also have ALL the symptons but tests were clear. Did you find out what is wrong?
@@MyFosti how are you now?

How weights can I left if I have a hiatal hernia
I had surgery 19 years ago. Can it recur?
My mom in law had a hiatal hernia it was number 4 we found out wen we were in ermocillo México and she had surgery there unfortunately the staff there was horrible and they were unprofessional no cleanliness and no they didn’t use gloves or protective gear wen going patient to patient she was septic already but caught staff and pseudomonas infection her left lung collapsed and they removed her stomach and some intestine were they attached her intestine to esophagus it did not heal and created a hole so every time she swallowed it will accumulate in the lung cavity that’s were the pseudomonas festered by the time we got her back to Tucson AZ her blood count was at 9 and too top it of she is Jahova witness and she will not accept a transfusion so she was already on life support Banner Hospital accepted her on December 2 2018 and they ran test and told us she was not going to make it and just keep her comfortable till she passed we fought and in she had a tracheotomy, bed sore, chest tube, and was on TPN on the 3rd day she got to Banner she woke up and she was coherent a stent was put in in the esophagus were it connected to the intestine to stop the leakage antibiotics were given for infections it helped kill the bacteria she went into a rehabilitation center and she got weened off the trachea slowly getting her movement back in April 6 she had a bowl obstruction she had surgery and on April 14 she went back home she has healed very well but at the moment she still had the ostomy bag and a fistula by her incision but her incision has closed and bed sore but now the only problem she has is bile reflux irritation on the esophagus it’s so bad they had to put the stent back to prevent the esophagus from closing up I’m so sorry for the long story but we are desperate on stopping that reflux because the stent can only stay fo four months is there any advice you can give us and so sorry for the bad grammar 😊
Zoe Rodriguez wow , that’s a lot for one person to go thru. May God heal her in Jesus Name!!
I pray to God to heal her... God Bless....
So is this a problem of the diaphragm hole then or the actual stomach?
And I think this is actually affecting the function of my diaphragm breathing ?
It’s a problem w the diaphragm hole. Typically it does not affect your breathing, however if big enough it could.
@@drbuckparker Interesting. Thanks. I think i have damage to phrenic nerve from a horrific medication injury. My diaphragm was just stopping on and off numerous times, stopping my breathing.
How common is hiatal hernia for those with achalasia who have had surgeries like POEM or HMs?
So my bmi is low actually I'm classified as underweight how would that effect a hernia?
Thank you for making this video 😃
Please keep images on the screen while explaining the physiology, I am a visual person.
Ummm … “he ended up being okay” ?! Sound very tough to deal with… more details on how someone could recover from that svp
Thank you. I had a gastroenterology report that said i have a large @36cm hiatal hernia. I have trouble deep breathing using abdomen and also stomach ache after eating meals. Should i go for a surgery?
Touqeer Abbas you need to change ure lifestyle diet in exercise...type in Google exercise for hatial hernia...it's worth it..
Rachelann Naces thank you Rachelann for your reply. Can you guide me more about what to eat and how to exercise? You can add me on skype @ username: touq.eer and we can have a conversation over there. Or use my email touqeer@wirestorm.us. I will be waiting for your response. It is very important to me! Thanks
Touqeer Abbas are you sure its 36 cm and not 3-6 cm? ive just been diagnised with a 2cm sliding hiatus hernia and i looked up the risks and it said cancer of the foid pipe. Im sooo scared now :( i dont take any meds because my symptoms are bearable but im scared ill end up with cancer.
Sometimes the only relief is surgery. I had a Hiatal Hernia repaired after being so sick especially the last 3 years before the surgery. The slow process of healing after the surgery takes a year, eating small soft meals for easy digestion and drinking smoothies especially for dinner otherwise it is hard to sleep. I am so grateful for my surgery in spite of the hard painful recovery with diet.
@@jovitarich7078 What kind of surgery did you get? I have a hiatal hernia along with GERD so I am planning on getting surgery to fix it.
Can you make a video on how to treat this condition.. im 22 years old and this is really ruining my life.. i was in the hospital few times and they told me that this condition cant be treated, basically that i have to live with it.. i started to massage my stomach and it gets better from time to time, i can feel my stomach going down, i usually feel a beat below my diaphragm, but after 30min of massaging it goes down to my belly button and i can eat again. It goes back up when i get really upset or do some heavy lifting. Is there any way to get this off my back for good?
Benedryl Cucumberpatch surgery is 66% successful
Do you have bulge or something noticeable?
@@Beast_10xX yea I had a bulge and it was hard too. But it's better now. Went from hospital to hospital vomiting like a mad man and noone could help. Then I went to a lady that does massages and all kind of things. She put my stomach back in place and gave me things to drink and eat, all natural. I gained few kilos now and can eat normally. But I have to be careful what I eat and how much.
@@queZxXx good to hear that, emm i just want to ask you did you have a large or small hernia, i suspect i have a hernia, my symptoms are pulsing in the left rib cage, bloating, discomfort in the lower chest that come and go is it a hernia? Or just gerd? I dont have difficulty swallowing or heart burn im skinny
@@Beast_10xX I had and probably still have a hernia. The symptoms can vary, I unfortunately got the delux packet lol. I don't know if you have a hernia but try laying on your back and feeling the pulse. You said you have a pulse in the left rib cage? You should only feel the pulse little bit above your belly button. Dunno what your symptoms are but check it out, better safe than sorry. Try sleeping on your back if you can, and have a nice breakfast in the morning so you aren't on an empty stomach :) if you need help with anything just ask and I'll do my best to help you
Do all hiatal hernias require surgery?
No not all. If you are having significant symptoms then surgery is entertained.
Buck Parker, M.D. but silent reflux can cause cancer too cant it? Are we not risking it by leaving it? I dont take any meds because my symptoms arn't bad. But im.scared of getting damage and cancer caused by silent reflux
That is exactly my concern! The diaphragm is loose for 2 cms. I’m given Ranitiden for 3 months to lower acidity of the stomach. But this does not sound to be permanent solution :(
@@niazmgh Medicine is not the permanent solution. Surgery is!
I was convinced I had a Hiatal hernia. I had acid reflux, upper abdominal aches(around the diaphragm) upper abdomen tension.
After these tests:
1) upper GI endoscopy
2) barium x ray test
3) Esophageal manometry test, all ruled out I don't have a hiatal hernia.
My Dr. Told me it was due to stress and anxiety. Which is true.
Whenever I'm in peace, I don't have any symptoms at all.
Even my sister, my aunt and one of my cousins have anxiety and gets the same symptoms as me whenever they're stressed
I have one. Don't know what kind but it gives me shallow breathing and extremely painful pinching feeling right around my bottom left rib. What would be recommended? Nothing seems to fix it
in my experience only a surgery will fix them completely. have you had a CT scan or x ray swallow study?
Buck Parker, M.D. no only an endoscopy
ok so it's been confirmed then. i'm not sure if it's causing the symptoms you describe as pinching in the left upper abdomen/lower chest tho. Have not had a lot of patients say that specifically. Most have reflux, or some vague upper abdominal pain.
@@TheTSponger how are you now???
@@TheTSponger how's your breathing now????
can an endoscopy procedure show if this is what i have going on with me? tightness across mid abdomen, especially when i get up to walk. feels extra tight after meals.
there are a couple tests for this. one is endoscopy and the other is esophogram (you swallow some contrast and they take a live x-ray and watch to see if you have a hiatal hernia and or reflux)
Kenneth Reid yes i just got this done and it comfirmed mine
@@drbuckparker can a MRI show this

What specialization of the doctor where i can consult?
Hi I have large hiatal hernia And one Doctor says I shouldn’t go to the gym anymore,And other say that i can go to the gym with lighter weights.what do you think of this-Because gym is my life?
Surgery
Gym probably gave you hernia ,I had to give up exercise
How is the hernia doing?
Hello Dr. I cannot find any info online about this, so I thought I would ask. How do I know if I have A hiatal hernia or GERD? I’m scheduled to have a LINX surgery, as I do have a weak LES. But I kind of want to just get my 2cmm sliding hernia fixed first to see if it’ll resolve my issues first. If it doesn’t, then do the linx. Please help me with your opinion. I really need help deciding 😢 thanks 🙏🏼
How are u now?
What's your symptoms???
How are u now? What's your symptoms kaoruuuu?? Plz reply 🙏
Thanjyou for schooling me on this.
