Here I am, stumbling across this video after I figured all of this out on my own. Having to walk the Doctors through their own process so that they can see the same thing was like a bad dream. But it is finally getting taken care of. Helpful information like this is needed as there are so many physicians that believe they are High Almighty and know everything and patients need to be able to have the information to ask the right questions and get the right help.
I've been struggling to breathe for a year and a half, Doctors tried to say it was anxiety and all in my head. I was adamant that something was wrong, along with the shortness of breath, I also had heartburn, sore throat, constant throat clearing and now difficulty swallowing with choking episodes. The e.n.t doc was so annoyed with me when I bought up the breathing issue and proceeded to diagnosed me with LPR with Anxiety with somatization, and all this over the phone, not once have they bothered to check my throat or food pipe even after requesting for both to be looked at, I went to the ER several times, till eventually they checked my heart, lungs and confirmed all clear. The last few years have been rough and im at my lowest, everyday is a battle! Doctors have literelly ignored my pleas for help and left me feeling unvalidated. I really want to show these videos to the doctors in the hope that they will empathise with me but they dont want to listen, lost faith in the health system.
@@shubzahmed9604 bro I literally did that to my doctor ....I have these all shortness of breath (not breathing enough air At all), discomfort below my chest, sore throat sometimes... and bro I also have a hypertension and I'm 19 yrs old since lockdown everything turns upside down🙃 ..... and today I approached a cardiologist and checked it all cause I thought this was coz of hypertension and all that ...and I approached a 2 doctors before and they always say don't stress da da da... so when I checked today I wanna know if it was a secondary hypertension and I literally wrote a short note 📝 of what to checked what it's likely to be from a cardiologist called "york cardiolgy"... and tried to read it yet again he stopped me and said ik what to do🙃 ...... after all my heart my kidney is all fine eventhough its good they are 🙂 ... the discomfort, the shortness of breath is all their ...and soon I will check my Gerd if it's hiatal hernia or anything....if u read it all thanks for reading and you are not alone much love my guy❤
Dr Petersen... thanks a million... I have a hiatus hernia.. and have been experiencing exactly what you described.. the palpitations..compressions..bowl disruption.... gas building up.. all of it.. I did heart test and like you said.. it's a healthy heart.. my life has been stressful everything a get a palpitations or dizzy feeling..I feel like the end is near.. So once again.. a million thanks .. God bless you... keep it up...
I have suddenly developed unfulfilled stiff breathing / also breathlessness with exertion...my chest doesn't pain. (apparently post booster), I've gotten a lung function test ( spirometry), a chest CT and multiple blood tests...all are clear...but since the past 6 weeks, 24/7 almost, I am always conscious of my breathing and it's debilitating. I'm homebound and can't enjoy simple things. What is it? Please help
So sad you don’t live in Germany. We have the worst doctors anyone can ask for. I wish you were here. I have had issues with my stomach for a long time and everyone seems to ignore it and tells me to put camera in my stomach. And everything all comes out fine. But the symptoms are worst thing to experience. God bless doctors like you.
This is everything I have been through and I had a stress test and echocardiogram plus shortness of breath, chest pain been to the Er 10 times in two months. I love you as a doctor I will be one of your patient very soon because you understand what people like me is going through.

Damn how are you now I’m going through shortness of breath too but my tropinin levels was elevated they ran a echocardiogram chest X-ray cat scan an ekg all normal now I gotta do a stress test next week was it hard ??
This is exactly what I'm experiencing. Was just admitted in hospital over the weekend to be told all the test was fine, but here we are and I'm still going through this
I had symptoms of being cold, weak, poor sleep, hypothyroid, poor digestion, acid reflux, light headed, heart palpitations, short of breath, anxiety, depression, weight loss, low sex drive, and posture/back problems. I went round-and-round with regular doctors for years getting nowhere. I was diagnosed and treated for hiatal hernia with some gut issues through Root Cause Medical and I'm finally getting improving!
Thanks for sharing Brady. It is incredible the number of people we are discovering with this condition. Symptoms vary quite a bit which is why I'm trying to share more about it and hopefully get more people relief. So glad you're doing better!
Thanks for commenting Brady. As you can see by all the comments, there are so many people suffering with this. We're trying to get the word out so we can help more people.
i have this all: i have heavy breathing/struggling to sleep like i just sleep 1-3 hours a day. and back pain. i put my air conditioner at 10c (which is the coldest) is this the problem? (i have nasal nose spray and everything though. and i still feel heavy and helpless. can you guys please reply. i need help so badly im just 14. and ive been going all through this. im starting to get depressed (all of this happened a 2-4 days ago, (the heavy breathing). *please i need help 😭*
Wow...You nailed it!!! I've been going through all of these symptoms and wondering what was going on for the past 7 months... I've been from doctor to doctor, cardiologist, pulmonologist, dietician, etc. The stress has been through the roof!... Thank you!
This is extremely helpful and I have never related to a doctor's words over the past years than I just did right now listening to you. I have had shortness of breath and "heart" pains for nearly two years as well as stomach pains and acid reflux. Im a 27 year old, male with a good health history so when all these symptoms started at the same time it was so worrying and debilitating. I was seeing a pulmonologist, cardiologist and Gastroenterologist and just like you mentioned in the video, my heart and lungs are fine and doctors were just saying it was stress. But the gastroenterologist did discover a "small" hiatal hernia which I'm sure it's causing all these problems. I'm about to start the GERD diet and do more exercise to lose weigh hopefully I can get my life back to normal.
@Steven Tullius definitely staying away from meds right now. I'm watching my diet and trying to exercise more frequently to see if in the future months I start feeling better.
@@hugohugo990 r u feeling better? i literally have this n im a kid so im super stressed abt this now bc i went to the hospital n got loads of tests down n told im fine n okay
@@batoulgheith yes I am. I still have the hiatal hernia but I rarely feel it as much. My best advice is to not stress. I know it's hard especially with what you're feeling but stress can play a big role. Keep bugging your doctors if you feel pain and just have a healthy lifestyle (drink tons of water, sleep well, and eat well)
@@elenasalvador6608 my breathing has improved to the point where I started working my job again and I'm so happy. My breathing still doesn't feel the same as before but I feel that I just got used to it. I definitely need to start exercising more and hopefully this new year I can make that happen.
Thank you! You've answered what I've been trying to get diagnosed for 12 years. I have to lift my shoulders to get a deep breath. A PCP decided it was stress, a cardiologist told me to take the stairs. Only reason I was diagnosed with hiatal hernia this week is because I was due for a colonoscopy and told the GI doc I'd been having central abdominal pain/pressure, so he added an EGD test. Thanks again! 🤩

This has been so helpful. I have recent diagnosis of advanced ovarian cancer with a large 9 x 12 cm tumour on the left ovary and metastases in the omentum - awaiting date for debulking surgery. My main problem has been worsening shortness of breath on exertion and an expanding girth. I have had diagnosis of small hiatus hernia in the past and had ablation for SVT. Of course it has been a very stressful couple of months since diagnosis and I've noticed occasional 'ectopics' when stressed and heart rate goes up briefly to around 125 bpm (I wear a fitbit) when I feel the ectopic but settles down to my normal 75-80 quickly. I now think these ectopics are caused by the pressure in my abdomen and on my diaphragm causing just the problem you discuss of a sliding hiatus hernia. I had an ECG about a month ago and everything was fine/normal - so there you go.
I had all the symptoms mentioned. Went to cardiologist and he ordered ECG, CT scan of the heart and said there is 75% blockage and to confirm the blockage I had to do an angiogram and ended up staying in the hospital for 1 night, burnt a hole in my pocket, tons of blood thinners, statins and the symptoms still persists. So this video is spot on. Thank you the best description so far.
This has been my total experience trying to figure out what is going on with my heart with a few general doctors. They wouldn’t refer me to a specialist And they both acted like it was anxiety and that I was crazy. Both of them offered me meds and we had maybe spoken for 10 minutes. I saw a 3rd doc this morning who referred me to a heart specialist. Mine symptoms happen at the peak of fitness and getting my heart rate up, followed by chest pain. It’s happened maybe 15 times now in the last few years and my heart gets sorer and for longer each time.

THIS IS ME.... Been having heart palpitations and recieving treatment for a with Metoprolol by my Cardiologist since 2014. I was active duty US Navy for 27 years and recently retired in 2020. Over years I have had 20 Echocardiograms,, 5 CTA's and two right/left heart catheterization. The great news is that I was able and have access to that type of care, however as you mentioned "every" cardiologist and electrophysiologist all beleive and tell me "that my heart is fine"... AND YES.... I have been repeatedly referred to both a psychiatrist and psychologist for meds, because I'm like "Heyyyyyy" something is wrong with me heart!!! Help....
I deal with the heart palps and shortness of breath, trapped burp and racing heart . I also have generalized anxiety. I had my heart checked out and they said just extra hearts beats and its fine. Also went to gi doctor and said I might have gastritis and gerd but never did an endoscopy for hiatal hernia. I think I may have one now that you mentioned it. Thanks for the helpful video.

@@jamiemoffat1722 so far diet helps as I get more anxious the heart palps happen, when I eat foods that flare up my gerd. Sticking to brown rice, chicken, zucchini, green beans for dinner. I do not eat fruit as many are acidic and get more heart palps from them. Try staying away from dairy and gluten or eat very little of it. I eat pretty bland foods. Another is making sure not dehydrated little sips of water instead of chugging as when I used to chugg water sensations would happen,
Hey, I’m happy to hear this video. I’m in my mid twenties with two toddlers, whom I stay home with. The past 9 months has been a rollercoaster. I’ve seen several doctors, dozens of ER visits. Echocardiogram, Pulmonary Lung Function Test, Stress Test, Chest X-rays, etc. ALL NORMAL. It’s like a wild goose chase for answers. Nobody has answers. I get really short of breath the second I stand up and try to do light activity that never phased me before. I can’t eat a lot without feeling like a balloon swelling in my diaphragm. I get crazy heart palpitations everyday, most of the day, and shortness of breath anytime I try to do anything basic with my kids. I’m at a loss, I’m a nervous wreck all the time. I just want to feel normal again, and for the kids to have their fun-loving momma again. I find myself sitting ALOT now because I’m afraid to get up and lose my breath and my heart pound like crazy. Any advice or tips? I literally get dizzy often now, and it’s scary. I cry a lot because I’m scared for my future and this is a never ending vicious cycle for me. It’s taken a mental toll. Thanks for listening!💛
i have also the same problem past one n half years 24/7. i dont know what happen.i also done all test. but pblm still thear. i can understand ur feeling .because i am in living this pblm.
@@smschennal3652 Really? I’m sorry to hear that, I know how difficult it is to live like this. Anxiety maybe? I’m not sure. I’m not giving up, and will keep pushing for answers. I hope you find answers as well! Good luck on your journey, stay positive!

I like doctors like this woman. She thinks. My daughter is 16 and I mentioned this bc I love to study medicine and do research. I always wanted to be a nurse but didn't have the support being single mom. But basically her doctor blew it off and said no she most likely having anxiety.

This is what i feel as of this moment.i feel fullness at the upper part of my abdomen.a bloated feeling reason why i cant take a deep breath.i went for an ekg twice and they said my heart is totally okay!
You have explained sooo much!!! I've had digestive issues my entire life (literally) and have an hiatal hernia that has caused serious problems. I've had unexplained high HR....until now! You just gave me the answer to that question lol. I'm going in to see a GI because it's gotten so bad that there are very few foods I can eat now that will go down without getting stuck. I didn't want surgery but I don't think I have much of a choice if I want to live a normal life. Anyway, thank you so very much for answering this very important question! Blessings to you💙💜💙💜
Thank you so much! This helped me to understand my situation now. I was so scared of my heart. But after listening to you I got a relief. I'm 27 and I'm from India. Hope fully I will find a good doc at my location. ❤ you are doing a great job. Thanks a lot and love you.
Your video is so helpful. It feels like someone just gets it. Doctors, ERS, tests, lab work, everytime eveything comes back as normal which yes I am happy for, but I also feel like I know I am not crazy. Or am I exaggerating the situation (when I know I am not, I am just making excuses when tests comes back normal). I do feel I have had plenty of stomach issues in the past. I am currently in the process of waiting for thyroid tests to come back because after doing plenty of research I thought maybe I am suffering from Hyperthyroidism. So far my electrolytes and everything are normal, but have not heard back about thyroid yet. I get sharp chest pains, like spasms. Its painful and freaks me out. I do not have anxiety, (maybe situational) and I am not really stressed. I take deep breaths and recognize when the palpitations start to help ease my anxiety. Does not always help, but acknowledging it rather than freaking out is far more helpful. What do you suggests. I drink tea and use essential oils. I am vegatartian, but at the moment my diet is poor because I thought maybe I could be suffering from Hyperthyrodism
I feel your pain and can totally relate! I've had chest pains for nearly two years and progressively they've gotten worse. At some points feeling like I'm gonna have a heart attack. It's super worrying bc I'm only 27 and don't do drugs or anything. And my cardiologist tells me my heart is fine just telling me it's stress that's causing my chest pains. And I've also had stomach issues for a while now and I get acid reflux real easily. I'm currently experiencing shortness of breath and heart pains as well as acid reflux and my Gastroenterologist just discovered a hiatal hernia so I'm sure that's what's causing my problems. I'm about to go on a very strict diet to help with the reflux and do more cardio to help me lose weight hopefully that'll help with some of my symptoms and help me lead a normal, pain-free life again.
Thank you, I get those a lot lately especially when I’m doing some cardio, I get gas burping and it comes up middle of chest, feels some times like a flutter, I take medication for gerd acid reflux
Thank you so much for this video I've been experiencing heart palpitations heart burns shortness of breath been to the er once and they told me I am fine but I knew something else was up so I've been going to health center in my community and they ran ECG test and blood test and they also told me I am ok , I can't run a good distance without heart palpitations and shortness of breath , my heart races out of no where sometimes even when I'm sleeping at night I feel my heart palpitating and I have to sit up to feel better, I'm even afraid to eat sometimes because I try to watch what triggers my heart burn and palpitations, I try not to panic at times but it is a big stress

My Dr. Keeps telling me I have acid reflux and I struggled to believe this because my symptoms are very debilitating at times. I’ve been trying to search for answers and possible causes of what I am experiencing other than acid reflux, and this has given me a much better explanation of what is going on. Thankyou

I’ve had the same symptoms! Check to see if you have a food allergy. I just stopped eating dairy or drinking dairy and I feel so much better. It could be Anaphylaxis. I would drink milk with my coffee, and the coffee would help my symptoms, but the milk with the coffee would cause my symptoms.
Dr. Vikki Petersen I had my heart checked and they told me my heart was fine, they also checked my oxygen level which was a good level. Through hyperventilation I was actually getting more air. I had so much anxiety. I had every symptom in your video except for the stomach pain. Anyphalaxis can also be along all ages. Not trying to be arrogant, I just want to let people know what is working for me.

I just comment back to ensure that my channel appreciates it's not the "only" answer. There are a variety of food sensitivities that can be contributing plus several other factors as I've mentioned. I truly appreciate your comment.
I have acid reflux. Lately I have symptoms of a hiatal hernia have gone thru the heart tests with no answers I live I. Canada and my doctor isn’t seeing patients in person yet
After I eat I eat some plain organic yogurt. Calms palpitations down. Also you can juice cabbage or carrot juice and it will help repair stomach if inflamed or you have an ulcer. Im getting loads of palpitations now and have a shopping delivery tomorrow of lots of carrots. Make sure you get all your vitamins and minerals. A car wont work properly if you put the wrong fuel in it. I used to drink on an empty stomach and now I'm paying the price.

This has been going on for me for quite some time now, but its only recently been a concern to me. I’ve had shortness of breath before bed, in the car, and other times when I’m not thinking about things. I want to see a doctor about it but I’m worried my problem won’t be resolved. I thought it was Anxiety which I’ve had mildly since I was 10. (I’m almost 14 by the way) and the breathing problems don’t help because I instantly jump to searching up whatever is going on when something even mildly different is happening to me. This is the one time my research has helped me. I think I can actually go to sleep well tonight knowing I’m not dying. Thank you so much! I’ll be talking to my guardians about this tomorrow before school to get this checked out ASAP. I’m so ready to live life breathing normally again 🙏🙏🙏
I started noticing how my heart would skip a beat only when I sit forward a bit. Or when I tilt my chin down over to the right. But never when I bend down to tie my shoes. Some times it feels like drinking too much water triggers it. I had acid reflux a few weeks ago, which I never get. But I couldn't lie down without feeling periods of palpitations, but taking anti acids fixed it. Which was a relief, because I was thinking I was having an attack.
@@alexisstarr7825 I think it was only for a few days, maybe a week. I wasn't taking them consistently throughout the day, just maybe twice, as I felt the symptoms. I would only notice the symptoms on the weekends when I was at home more often. I started drinking more water, which I feel helped a lot, because I haven't had any problems since.
Thank you Dr. I'm watching your videos from the Philippines. I've experienced all the symptoms that you've mentioned. These bring uncomfortable to my life. I wish that you have clinics here.

Great video Dr Peterson. I've had my heart checked twice now and having all these symptoms you mention. I am also have eptopic beats. Could these be due to a hiatal hernia also?
Thank you for your reply it is appreciated! My brother in law is a pulmonologist and the Dr. Who sees me for my apnea. I have never shown him my hernia maybe should and tell him about this condition. I've been apprehensive that he will want,me to go get a bunch of tests, but maybe it's time! Thanks again! I always enjoy your info.

I experience heart palpitations almost everytime I exercise and my heart rate gets over 160 bpm. Can a hiatal hernia cause this problem, and if so why? I’ve had all my heart tests done and they came back clear. Really need answers for why this is happening. I expedience so many bad stomach issues as well as difficulty maintaining a normal breathing pattern. Thanks!
Get yourself a juicer and juice up some cabbage or carrot. It will settle things. Plenty about it on youtube. I did cabbage until I found out carrot does the same. Have read drinking these juices have repaired ulcers far quicker than these nasty side effect drugs. Not saying you have an ulcer. I've had gerd in past and it cured it, until I fell back on eating to much sweet stuff and the stomachs worse enermy, alcohol. Getting loads of palpitations, so will be juicing when my carrots arrive tomorrow. I also eat natural organic plain yogurt after meal that calms palpitations down. I seem to get palpitations during exercise, as if I don't sweat quick enough. Doc says everyone is different. In other words, he's useless.

You said it's easy fix. Please share the fix! I have been having this very problem off and on. I have klonopin for anxiety and it doesn't touch it! One day I said, okay, if this is a heart attack let's see. Got on my tread mill and gave a good go. Then lifted some light weights, some squats, and about 30 push ups. Heart rate went up to 120 and within about 20 minuets around 60. I am 64 years old and I do have some type of hernia that's is visual. Another thing I deal with is apnea, but I diligently use my C Pap. What's the fix?
The fix is not something I can tell you to do over the internet because there are differences person to person. Does it include diet change? Often. Does it involve identifying the cause of gut imbalance/infections? Yes, again often. Can it involve the nerves going to the diaphragm coming from the neck? Again, yes. Does the doctor of Physical Therapy work to break the spasm of a high diaphragm? Yes again. There are many factors and we need to identify which are occurring and then fix them. Yes, it's not hard, but it's not a single "pill" for everyone. I know; I wish it was "take vitamin C" or something everyone could just take, but that's just not the case. I hope that makes sense.

Help me. One day I was in stress and suddenly I felt like something inside my chest(left side) is exerting outwards. I rushed to cardiologist got my ECG and thyroid test done. My blood pressure was 90/60, ECG suggested Sinus Tachycardia and Thyroid test was normal. Cardiologist told me everything was okay. But I never felt okay after that day. I used to be an active guy. Workout, yoga and daily 3-4 km of brisk walking was my regular schedule. But out of fear I stopped doing my workouts. I still feel a kind of pressure/heaviness and a burning sensation in my chest. Got my tests done 3-4 times with different doctors. Since this pandemic situation, I have also developed severe anxiety and started panicking. I am not from your country.
Hi fascinating reading I’m a 61 year old male who until 3 years ago was extremely fit and healthy. That’s when I started with all the symptoms you have listed for haital hernia. I have had numerous checks done on both my heart and lungs, the lungs are clear and the cardiologist says he has no real concerns though I have some narrowing of one artery. I also had an endoscopy where I was told all was well. Despite all of these tests my quality of life has plumeted mainly due to my shortage of breath. Your description fits my condition perfectly and I will return to my GP (I’m in the UK) with these findings. I wonder if you could tell if this also fits the symptoms of a HH when I bend forward to pull on my socks or fasten my shoes my upper stomach is extremely painful and I feel like my oxygen is being cut off to such an extend that I can only stay leaning forward for a very short period of time. Very many thanks for your help.
Hello doctor .please make a video on paroxysmal nocturnal dyspnea..please give remedies of treatment of medication if possible.thank you..hear you soon..
Where are you? This is my exact problem. It has ruined my life. I have constant palpitations especially at night.. My heart is apparently normal, so it's been labeled anxiety. I have had a hietal hernia for many years.

Hi there! I have been having upper belly breathing issues now for about a year and it’s draining me everyday because I feel I am not getting enough air in. It’s also made my anxiety skyrocket 😞 do you do virtual appointments?
My God! This video is a life saver indeed. Exactly same situation and every single Dr I visited said: All is fine! Go have some Valerian to cool down! Bad solution. Stress does not go like that. Some Dr. prescribed anti depressants and Beta Blockers. Of course, I never took them, I don't need them. I walk almost 3 km every day and never run out of breath. It's just at night anxiety gives me this Air Hunger feeling, I take my blood pressure and it's perfect. It just feels like an endless loop. I'm not sure if it is Hiatal Hernai since my gastroenterologist did not detect it when he scaned. I assume my case is simply Health Anxiety. Why? Because I had Covid 5 months ago and after I read so many articles about Covid leading to heart attacks, panic striked me.
Omg you just described everything that i am suffering for years now 😭😭 I've been told that my heart is fine "within normal" as per my cardiologist after my 2nd opinion consultation. Diagnose with a severe asthma by my pulmonologist but still feeling the same. I feel awfully anxious Can't even work properly because of all of it.

This video just reminded me, from about the age of 20 used to get a random sharp stabbing chest pain. It become more and more frequent to the point of once every few months or so. I had no idea what it was. The doctors couldn't/wouldn't say what it was. I did test high cholesterol a couple of times over my life but other times it tested normal. I have not a had a single sharp stabbing pain in my chest since the day I went plant based 8 years ago. Strangely though, since then, my cholesterol has been high from eating a lot of plant based chocolate and other plant based junk food.
You just explained what ive been experiencing for months! Whenever i do light activities like bending or running, i feel like i cant take enough breath. These are my symptoms : Shortness of breath Chest pain Palpitations (sometimes manageable, im getting used to it) Lower back pain Others, psychological : Anxiety and panic attack It has been my silent battle, no one, even in my family knows what ive been fighting for almost 8 months. I dont have enough money for test to check my abdomen. I just had blood test and chest xray which are all normal. Im really hopeless, i dont go outside now because of anxiety. Im only 21, eventually i have to go outside to work after college. But i cant even climb stairs without getting out of breath halfway 😢 Can it be cured or atleast go back to normal without getting surgery? Are breathing exercises helpful if it occurs when im outside? Or im just gonna passed out in the middle of the street. Im not sure if this is hiatal hernia or diaphragm spasm 😢 please reply 🙏 you are amazing, i feel like even just your presence could calm my anxiety
Panic attack is a totally different thing. Have your vitamin D levels checked. Anything less than 50ng/ml is risky. Have it cranked up and you will be just fine.
You need to see a gastroenterologist immediately. If your symptoms are this severe it should be referred to a specialist. Until then to help yourself To stop Gerd with a hiatal hernia the most important thing is to NEVER eat cold foods and drink cold beverages. No ice! The stomach produces more acid and heats up more when you eat or drink cold things. Good should be hot and mushy. Do this and drink hot tea after each meal making your stomach do less work to break down food.
@@Kindlycallmecarebear hi! Thank you for this! 😊 i think since 2022 have started im slowly healing. I mean maybe its panic attack and my anxiety before. Because it only happen when im too nervous or when im outside, im usually nervous but now it gets worse cos of pandemic. Now, im slowly getting used it, after learning that im not gonna die of it, I'm more positive now that i can overcome this. Through research, watching doctors' videos and learning from other people's experiences, i realized i dont have gerd, ulcer, gastro. Im guessing hernia, since i dont have any other symptoms now aside from the feeling of there's something stuck in my upper abdomen sometimes. Maybe i dont pay much attention to my health before but i now became more discipline and health conscious. Lesson learned for me 😊

What can I do if I’m poor? How can I pay for what you offer to help this matter? I understand everyone is different… I just wish you had videos of all the different ways that can cure hiatal hernia. This type of anxiety is draining my life. I have a child and a family to tend to. If this is easy to cure just show the many ways that can cure it. I’m tired of being diagnosed with anxiety and depression and I KNOW there’s nothing wrong, because I’m sitting here and nothing is triggering these symptoms mentally…. It’s something else with me. But thank you so much, this video was very helpful and got me to know exactly what I thought what was happening to me. Thanks so much Doc.
I have pretty much all the symptoms you've mentioned. On top of that I have panic anxiety disorder, I've had that for 20 years. I've been to the emergency room twice within a month for palpitations, I've been to my cardiologist and all the test that were performed didn't find any heart problems. I even wore a heart monitor for two weeks and no issues. I am 99% sure I have a hiatal hernia because I've done some of the suggestions I've found on the Internet and RUclips, like pushing down under the rib cage, warm water, stand on toes and drop. Symptoms are usually relived almost every time. I have no idea what type of doctor I should see, my cardiologist said all was fine, but I know it's not. I'm located in Florida so unfortunately I'm not able to visit your clinic. Any recommendations on how I should proceed?

Thank you for posting this. I went to the ER countless of times and saw a cardiologist. They said my heart is working like a champ. My gastroenterologist did an endoscopy and found acid reflux and hiatal hernia. This video makes perfect sense.
I feel heart palpitation..every morning.. sometime after i woke up..and before sleep. Sometime i feel want sick..but its fine after it stop palpitation.
I would be good to get to the root cause of why it's happening because it's a stressor to your body. If you want assistance consider calling us for a consultation - 408-733-0400. I'd be delighted to help you.
Always keep going to ER until they help you. I was having trouble breathing,but my oxygen was 100 percent in my blood. They sent me to another hospital and one of the valves in my heart was 95% blocked. They went in and put a stent in there and gave me meds to take. I feel so much better. Thank God I wouldn't accept that my heart was ok. I knew something was wrong.
Hello Dr vikki. Thank you so much for this video. I have been having this issue since my covid 19 vaccin ( august 18th) till now . It’s is very frustrating and scary sometimes. I don’t have any chest pain but I do have shortness of breath somethings , dizziness and all. And in the past, I had an acid reflux for my stomach . But now I’m just tired of going to the ER, doctors and all. They are telling me that my heart is fine but I’m not feeling okay 😭😭. Please what should I do ?
Yeah...same here :/ Just got back from the ER yesterday and try to find a diagnosis on my own, because my heart and lung are fine, but I feel dizzy, my heart is racing when I walk ~10m (130 pulse) and it´s difficult to breathe. Got it after the booster with Biontech in January

Hi Vikki, I am from South Africa and am 1000% certain that my hiatus hernia is causing my severe symptoms. I wake up and go to sleep with a shortness of breath. I have had a few scopes and have been diagnosed with a hiatus hernia but most doctors seem to think that it isn't the cause to my shortness of breath. This has been going on for over 10 years and I am only 29. I cannot live like this. Is there any way to schedule a remote call or to deal with you from this side because you really seem to understand alot about this. I really need to sort this out. It is really tough to live a happy life under these circumstances. Please do let me know. Much love, Daniel
Hello Daniel. I would love to help, and you're right, it does sound like the hiatal hernia is likely causing your symptoms. I'll be honest, it's a big challenge when you're outside the U.S. because I can't do the tests I can do here. But you're way too young to be suffering in this way. Please send an email to: NewPatient@RootCauseMedical.com and let's see what we can do.
I have a symptoms of chest tightness, shortness of breath, congestion on my throat,snezzing,heart palpitations,burfing and farting after eating and fatigue from work but when i go to 1,2 3 doctors and take a diagnostic test im normal and no sick but i feel the same. What happen to me???

Here I am, stumbling across this video after I figured all of this out on my own. Having to walk the Doctors through their own process so that they can see the same thing was like a bad dream. But it is finally getting taken care of. Helpful information like this is needed as there are so many physicians that believe they are High Almighty and know everything and patients need to be able to have the information to ask the right questions and get the right help.
exactly,went through this today and got into a heated discussion.my doctor refused to listen and watch this video,soo frustrating!
Did you find a cure?
@@markluchka5275o
I've been struggling to breathe for a year and a half, Doctors tried to say it was anxiety and all in my head. I was adamant that something was wrong, along with the shortness of breath, I also had heartburn, sore throat, constant throat clearing and now difficulty swallowing with choking episodes. The e.n.t doc was so annoyed with me when I bought up the breathing issue and proceeded to diagnosed me with LPR with Anxiety with somatization, and all this over the phone, not once have they bothered to check my throat or food pipe even after requesting for both to be looked at, I went to the ER several times, till eventually they checked my heart, lungs and confirmed all clear. The last few years have been rough and im at my lowest, everyday is a battle! Doctors have literelly ignored my pleas for help and left me feeling unvalidated. I really want to show these videos to the doctors in the hope that they will empathise with me but they dont want to listen, lost faith in the health system.

I had symptoms of being cold, weak, poor sleep, hypothyroid, poor digestion, acid reflux, light headed, heart palpitations, short of breath, anxiety, depression, weight loss, low sex drive, and posture/back problems. I went round-and-round with regular doctors for years getting nowhere. I was diagnosed and treated for hiatal hernia with some gut issues through Root Cause Medical and I'm finally getting improving!

@@hugohugo990 how are you feeling now?
This is extremely helpful and I have never related to a doctor's words over the past years than I just did right now listening to you. I have had shortness of breath and "heart" pains for nearly two years as well as stomach pains and acid reflux. Im a 27 year old, male with a good health history so when all these symptoms started at the same time it was so worrying and debilitating.
I was seeing a pulmonologist, cardiologist and Gastroenterologist and just like you mentioned in the video, my heart and lungs are fine and doctors were just saying it was stress. But the gastroenterologist did discover a "small" hiatal hernia which I'm sure it's causing all these problems.
I'm about to start the GERD diet and do more exercise to lose weigh hopefully I can get my life back to normal.
@Steven Tullius definitely staying away from meds right now. I'm watching my diet and trying to exercise more frequently to see if in the future months I start feeling better.

@@batoulgheith yes I am. I still have the hiatal hernia but I rarely feel it as much. My best advice is to not stress. I know it's hard especially with what you're feeling but stress can play a big role. Keep bugging your doctors if you feel pain and just have a healthy lifestyle (drink tons of water, sleep well, and eat well)
@@elenasalvador6608 my breathing has improved to the point where I started working my job again and I'm so happy. My breathing still doesn't feel the same as before but I feel that I just got used to it. I definitely need to start exercising more and hopefully this new year I can make that happen.
Thank you! You've answered what I've been trying to get diagnosed for 12 years. I have to lift my shoulders to get a deep breath. A PCP decided it was stress, a cardiologist told me to take the stairs. Only reason I was diagnosed with hiatal hernia this week is because I was due for a colonoscopy and told the GI doc I'd been having central abdominal pain/pressure, so he added an EGD test.

This has been so helpful. I have recent diagnosis of advanced ovarian cancer with a large 9 x 12 cm tumour on the left ovary and metastases in the omentum - awaiting date for debulking surgery. My main problem has been worsening shortness of breath on exertion and an expanding girth. I have had diagnosis of small hiatus hernia in the past and had ablation for SVT. Of course it has been a very stressful couple of months since diagnosis and I've noticed occasional 'ectopics' when stressed and heart rate goes up briefly to around 125 bpm (I wear a fitbit) when I feel the ectopic but settles down to my normal 75-80 quickly. I now think these ectopics are caused by the pressure in my abdomen and on my diaphragm causing just the problem you discuss of a sliding hiatus hernia. I had an ECG about a month ago and everything was fine/normal - so there you go.
I had all the symptoms mentioned. Went to cardiologist and he ordered ECG, CT scan of the heart and said there is 75% blockage and to confirm the blockage I had to do an angiogram and ended up staying in the hospital for 1 night, burnt a hole in my pocket, tons of blood thinners, statins and the symptoms still persists. So this video is spot on. Thank you the best description so far.
I hope you are feeling better. Sorry to hear that.

This has been my total experience trying to figure out what is going on with my heart with a few general doctors. They wouldn’t refer me to a specialist And they both acted like it was anxiety and that I was crazy. Both of them offered me meds and we had maybe spoken for 10 minutes. I saw a 3rd doc this morning who referred me to a heart specialist. Mine symptoms happen at the peak of fitness and getting my heart rate up, followed by chest pain. It’s happened maybe 15 times now in the last few years and my heart gets sorer and for longer each time.

@DrVikkiPetersen hello Dr. I really appreciate your video. I watch you and Dr mendells video. I have a hiatal hernia but it's small but I struggle to breath, belch, sore throat, palpitations. How can I get a consultation and get mymy life back. Cleared by cardio neuro ent. Please 😢
Omg you described my exact experience, 3 times to ER and no answers.
THIS IS ME.... Been having heart palpitations and recieving treatment for a with Metoprolol by my Cardiologist since 2014. I was active duty US Navy for 27 years and recently retired in 2020. Over years I have had 20 Echocardiograms,, 5 CTA's and two right/left heart catheterization. The great news is that I was able and have access to that type of care, however as you mentioned "every" cardiologist and electrophysiologist all beleive and tell me "that my heart is fine"... AND YES.... I have been repeatedly referred to both a psychiatrist and psychologist for meds, because I'm like "Heyyyyyy" something is wrong with me heart!!! Help....
Oh your not alone i also have that i have continous palpitation
Interesting video but you didn't tell the "easy resolution" so what is it?
I deal with the heart palps and shortness of breath, trapped burp and racing heart . I also have generalized anxiety. I had my heart checked out and they said just extra hearts beats and its fine. Also went to gi doctor and said I might have gastritis and gerd but never did an endoscopy for hiatal hernia. I think I may have one now that you mentioned it. Thanks for the helpful video.

@@jamiemoffat1722 so far diet helps as I get more anxious the heart palps happen, when I eat foods that flare up my gerd. Sticking to brown rice, chicken, zucchini, green beans for dinner. I do not eat fruit as many are acidic and get more heart palps from them. Try staying away from dairy and gluten or eat very little of it. I eat pretty bland foods. Another is making sure not dehydrated little sips of water instead of chugging as when I used to chugg water sensations would happen,

Hey, I’m happy to hear this video. I’m in my mid twenties with two toddlers, whom I stay home with. The past 9 months has been a rollercoaster. I’ve seen several doctors, dozens of ER visits. Echocardiogram, Pulmonary Lung Function Test, Stress Test, Chest X-rays, etc. ALL NORMAL. It’s like a wild goose chase for answers. Nobody has answers. I get really short of breath the second I stand up and try to do light activity that never phased me before. I can’t eat a lot without feeling like a balloon swelling in my diaphragm. I get crazy heart palpitations everyday, most of the day, and shortness of breath anytime I try to do anything basic with my kids. I’m at a loss, I’m a nervous wreck all the time. I just want to feel normal again, and for the kids to have their fun-loving momma again. I find myself sitting ALOT now because I’m afraid to get up and lose my breath and my heart pound like crazy. Any advice or tips? I literally get dizzy often now, and it’s scary. I cry a lot because I’m scared for my future and this is a never ending vicious cycle for me. It’s taken a mental toll.
Thanks for listening!💛
i have also the same problem past one n half years 24/7. i dont know what happen.i also done all test. but pblm still thear. i can understand ur feeling .because i am in living this pblm.
@@smschennal3652 Really? I’m sorry to hear that, I know how difficult it is to live like this. Anxiety maybe? I’m not sure. I’m not giving up, and will keep pushing for answers. I hope you find answers as well! Good luck on your journey, stay positive!

Thank you very much Doc. This is exactly what I've been facing. It usually happens mid night to me.
I like doctors like this woman. She thinks. My daughter is 16 and I mentioned this bc I love to study medicine and do research. I always wanted to be a nurse but didn't have the support being single mom. But basically her doctor blew it off and said no she most likely having anxiety. Im in the process to find someone else who can listen and look at this she is having anxiety bc of this condition

This is ruining my life, watching this video made me emotional, I'm so relieved someone understands. I'm based in the UK, is help possible?
You have explained sooo much!!! I've had digestive issues my entire life (literally) and have an hiatal hernia that has caused serious problems. I've had unexplained high HR....until now! You just gave me the answer to that question lol. I'm going in to see a GI because it's gotten so bad that there are very few foods I can eat now that will go down without getting stuck. I didn't want surgery but I don't think I have much of a choice if I want to live a normal life. Anyway, thank you so very much for answering this very important question! Blessings to you💙💜💙💜
Thank you so much! This helped me to understand my situation now.
I was so scared of my heart. But after listening to you I got a relief. I'm 27 and I'm from India. Hope fully I will find a good doc at my location. ❤ you are doing a great job. Thanks a lot and love you.
Me too from india suffering from this if you find a doctor please let me know
You’re so welcome!
Your video is so helpful. It feels like someone just gets it. Doctors, ERS, tests, lab work, everytime eveything comes back as normal which yes I am happy for, but I also feel like I know I am not crazy. Or am I exaggerating the situation (when I know I am not, I am just making excuses when tests comes back normal). I do feel I have had plenty of stomach issues in the past. I am currently in the process of waiting for thyroid tests to come back because after doing plenty of research I thought maybe I am suffering from Hyperthyroidism. So far my electrolytes and everything are normal, but have not heard back about thyroid yet. I get sharp chest pains, like spasms. Its painful and freaks me out. I do not have anxiety, (maybe situational) and I am not really stressed. I take deep breaths and recognize when the palpitations start to help ease my anxiety. Does not always help, but acknowledging it rather than freaking out is far more helpful. What do you suggests. I drink tea and use essential oils. I am vegatartian, but at the moment my diet is poor because I thought maybe I could be suffering from Hyperthyrodism
I feel your pain and can totally relate! I've had chest pains for nearly two years and progressively they've gotten worse. At some points feeling like I'm gonna have a heart attack. It's super worrying bc I'm only 27 and don't do drugs or anything. And my cardiologist tells me my heart is fine just telling me it's stress that's causing my chest pains. And I've also had stomach issues for a while now and I get acid reflux real easily. I'm currently experiencing shortness of breath and heart pains as well as acid reflux and my Gastroenterologist just discovered a hiatal hernia so I'm sure that's what's causing my problems. I'm about to go on a very strict diet to help with the reflux and do more cardio to help me lose weight hopefully that'll help with some of my symptoms and help me lead a normal, pain-free life again.
When I could afford the service I will surely reach out. Thank you for the enlightening.
This has been very helpful. Thank you!

Thank you so much for this video I've been experiencing heart palpitations heart burns shortness of breath been to the er once and they told me I am fine but I knew something else was up so I've been going to health center in my community and they ran ECG test and blood test and they also told me I am ok , I can't run a good distance without heart palpitations and shortness of breath , my heart races out of no where sometimes even when I'm sleeping at night I feel my heart palpitating and I have to sit up to feel better, I'm even afraid to eat sometimes because I try to watch what triggers my heart burn and palpitations, I try not to panic at times but it is a big stress

Hey can you share some tips? Did you recover?
My Dr. Keeps telling me I have acid reflux and I struggled to believe this because my symptoms are very debilitating at times. I’ve been trying to search for answers and possible causes of what I am experiencing other than acid reflux, and this has given me a much better explanation of what is going on. Thankyou

I’ve had the same symptoms! Check to see if you have a food allergy. I just stopped eating dairy or drinking dairy and I feel so much better. It could be Anaphylaxis. I would drink milk with my coffee, and the coffee would help my symptoms, but the milk with the coffee would cause my symptoms.
@@sentricz_devkep7525 Dairy is a good one to avoid but it could be other components as well. Glad it worked for you!
Dr. Vikki Petersen I had my heart checked and they told me my heart was fine, they also checked my oxygen level which was a good level. Through hyperventilation I was actually getting more air. I had so much anxiety. I had every symptom in your video except for the stomach pain. Anyphalaxis can also be along all ages. Not trying to be arrogant, I just want to let people know what is working for me.

I truly appreciate your comment.
I have acid reflux. Lately I have symptoms of a hiatal hernia have gone thru the heart tests with no answers I live I. Canada and my doctor isn’t seeing patients in person yet
I'm literally crying right now 😭
After I eat I eat some plain organic yogurt. Calms palpitations down. Also you can juice cabbage or carrot juice and it will help repair stomach if inflamed or you have an ulcer. Im getting loads of palpitations now and have a shopping delivery tomorrow of lots of carrots. Make sure you get all your vitamins and minerals. A car wont work properly if you put the wrong fuel in it. I used to drink on an empty stomach and now I'm paying the price.

This has been going on for me for quite some time now, but its only recently been a concern to me. I’ve had shortness of breath before bed, in the car, and other times when I’m not thinking about things. I want to see a doctor about it but I’m worried my problem won’t be resolved. I thought it was Anxiety which I’ve had mildly since I was 10. (I’m almost 14 by the way) and the breathing problems don’t help because I instantly jump to searching up whatever is going on when something even mildly different is happening to me. This is the one time my research has helped me. I think I can actually go to sleep well tonight knowing I’m not dying. Thank you so much! I’ll be talking to my guardians about this tomorrow before school to get this checked out ASAP. I’m so ready to live life breathing normally again 🙏🙏🙏
I started noticing how my heart would skip a beat only when I sit forward a bit. Or when I tilt my chin down over to the right. But never when I bend down to tie my shoes. Some times it feels like drinking too much water triggers it.
I had acid reflux a few weeks ago, which I never get. But I couldn't lie down without feeling periods of palpitations, but taking anti acids fixed it. Which was a relief, because I was thinking I was having an attack.
How long did you take the antacids?
@@alexisstarr7825 I think it was only for a few days, maybe a week. I wasn't taking them consistently throughout the day, just maybe twice, as I felt the symptoms. I would only notice the symptoms on the weekends when I was at home more often. I started drinking more water, which I feel helped a lot, because I haven't had any problems since.
@@Romelle81 what antacids you taking? Thanks
@@katgabrieles358 it was the alka seltzers tablets that you drop in a cup of water.

My pleasure Pana.
I experience heart palpitations almost everytime I exercise and my heart rate gets over 160 bpm. Can a hiatal hernia cause this problem, and if so why? I’ve had all my heart tests done and they came back clear. Really need answers for why this is happening. I expedience so many bad stomach issues as well as difficulty maintaining a normal breathing pattern. Thanks!
Get yourself a juicer and juice up some cabbage or carrot. It will settle things. Plenty about it on youtube. I did cabbage until I found out carrot does the same. Have read drinking these juices have repaired ulcers far quicker than these nasty side effect drugs. Not saying you have an ulcer. I've had gerd in past and it cured it, until I fell back on eating to much sweet stuff and the stomachs worse enermy, alcohol. Getting loads of palpitations, so will be juicing when my carrots arrive tomorrow. I also eat natural organic plain yogurt after meal that calms palpitations down. I seem to get palpitations during exercise, as if I don't sweat quick enough. Doc says everyone is different. In other words, he's useless.

You said it's easy fix. Please share the fix! I have been having this very problem off and on. I have klonopin for anxiety and it doesn't touch it!
One day I said, okay, if this is a heart attack let's see. Got on my tread mill and gave a good go. Then lifted some light weights, some squats, and about 30 push ups. Heart rate went up to 120 and within about 20 minuets around 60. I am 64 years old and I do have some type of hernia that's is visual. Another thing I deal with is apnea, but I diligently use my C Pap. What's the fix?
The fix is not something I can tell you to do over the internet because there are differences person to person. Does it include diet change? Often. Does it involve identifying the cause of gut imbalance/infections? Yes, again often. Can it involve the nerves going to the diaphragm coming from the neck? Again, yes. Does the doctor of Physical Therapy work to break the spasm of a high diaphragm? Yes again. There are many factors and we need to identify which are occurring and then fix them. Yes, it's not hard, but it's not a single "pill" for everyone. I know; I wish it was "take vitamin C" or something everyone could just take, but that's just not the case. I hope that makes sense. You can contact us for a free consultation if you're interested.
It might be an h-pylori infection.
What is the solution? What tests do you do? Where are you at?
Help me.
One day I was in stress and suddenly I felt like something inside my chest(left side) is exerting outwards. I rushed to cardiologist got my ECG and thyroid test done. My blood pressure was 90/60, ECG suggested Sinus Tachycardia and Thyroid test was normal. Cardiologist told me everything was okay. But I never felt okay after that day.
I used to be an active guy. Workout, yoga and daily 3-4 km of brisk walking was my regular schedule. But out of fear I stopped doing my workouts. I still feel a kind of pressure/heaviness and a burning sensation in my chest. Got my tests done 3-4 times with different doctors.
Since this pandemic situation, I have also developed severe anxiety and started panicking. I am not from your country.
I wish we were able to help internationally. In what country do you reside?
I have experienced same symptoms along with dizziness. Please make more videos on overcoming this problem as we stay outside US.
I have many such videos - look under hiatal hernia.
Hi fascinating reading I’m a 61 year old male who until 3 years ago was extremely fit and healthy. That’s when I started with all the symptoms you have listed for haital hernia. I have had numerous checks done on both my heart and lungs, the lungs are clear and the cardiologist says he has no real concerns though I have some narrowing of one artery. I also had an endoscopy where I was told all was well. Despite all of these tests my quality of life has plumeted mainly due to my shortage of breath. Your description fits my condition perfectly and I will return to my GP (I’m in the UK) with these findings. I wonder if you could tell if this also fits the symptoms of a HH when I bend forward to pull on my socks or fasten my shoes my upper stomach is extremely painful and I feel like my oxygen is being cut off to such an extend that I can only stay leaning forward for a very short period of time. Very many thanks for your help.
Thank you for that detailed description of your symptoms.
Definitely it can be. I can’t bend over, I have to stoop down.

Hi there!
I have been having upper belly breathing issues now for about a year and it’s draining me everyday because I feel I am not getting enough air in. It’s also made my anxiety skyrocket 😞 do you do virtual appointments?
My God! This video is a life saver indeed. Exactly same situation and every single Dr I visited said: All is fine! Go have some Valerian to cool down! Bad solution. Stress does not go like that. Some Dr. prescribed anti depressants and Beta Blockers. Of course, I never took them, I don't need them. I walk almost 3 km every day and never run out of breath. It's just at night anxiety gives me this Air Hunger feeling, I take my blood pressure and it's perfect. It just feels like an endless loop. I'm not sure if it is Hiatal Hernai since my gastroenterologist did not detect it when he scaned. I assume my case is simply Health Anxiety. Why? Because I had Covid 5 months ago and after I read so many articles about Covid leading to heart attacks, panic striked me.
Omg you just described everything that i am suffering for years now 😭😭 I've been told that my heart is fine "within normal" as per my cardiologist after my 2nd opinion consultation. Diagnose with a severe asthma by my pulmonologist but still feeling the same. I feel awfully anxious Can't even work properly because of all of it.

@@jandextermedallo7534 hello? Are you okay now? Also if you are how did you deal with the shortness of breathe
This video just reminded me, from about the age of 20 used to get a random sharp stabbing chest pain. It become more and more frequent to the point of once every few months or so. I had no idea what it was. The doctors couldn't/wouldn't say what it was. I did test high cholesterol a couple of times over my life but other times it tested normal. I have not a had a single sharp stabbing pain in my chest since the day I went plant based 8 years ago. Strangely though, since then, my cholesterol has been high from eating a lot of plant based chocolate and other plant based junk food.
You just explained what ive been experiencing for months! Whenever i do light activities like bending or running, i feel like i cant take enough breath.
These are my symptoms :
Shortness of breath
Chest pain
Palpitations (sometimes manageable, im getting used to it)
Lower back pain
Others, psychological :
Anxiety and panic attack
It has been my silent battle, no one, even in my family knows what ive been fighting for almost 8 months. I dont have enough money for test to check my abdomen. I just had blood test and chest xray which are all normal.
Im really hopeless, i dont go outside now because of anxiety. Im only 21, eventually i have to go outside to work after college. But i cant even climb stairs without getting out of breath halfway 😢
Can it be cured or atleast go back to normal without getting surgery? Are breathing exercises helpful if it occurs when im outside? Or im just gonna passed out in the middle of the street.
Im not sure if this is hiatal hernia or diaphragm spasm 😢 please reply 🙏 you are amazing, i feel like even just your presence could calm my anxiety
Panic attack is a totally different thing. Have your vitamin D levels checked. Anything less than 50ng/ml is risky. Have it cranked up and you will be just fine.
You need to see a gastroenterologist immediately. If your symptoms are this severe it should be referred to a specialist. Until then to help yourself To stop Gerd with a hiatal hernia the most important thing is to NEVER eat cold foods and drink cold beverages. No ice! The stomach produces more acid and heats up more when you eat or drink cold things. Good should be hot and mushy. Do this and drink hot tea after each meal making your stomach do less work to break down food.
@@Kindlycallmecarebear hi! Thank you for this! 😊 i think since 2022 have started im slowly healing. I mean maybe its panic attack and my anxiety before. Because it only happen when im too nervous or when im outside, im usually nervous but now it gets worse cos of pandemic. Now, im slowly getting used it, after learning that im not gonna die of it, I'm more positive now that i can overcome this.
Through research, watching doctors' videos and learning from other people's experiences, i realized i dont have gerd, ulcer, gastro. Im guessing hernia, since i dont have any other symptoms now aside from the feeling of there's something stuck in my upper abdomen sometimes. Maybe i dont pay much attention to my health before but i now became more discipline and health conscious. Lesson learned for me 😊

Thanks Dr. Vikki! Does a spasm like this ever cause excruciating pain?
I have pretty much all the symptoms you've mentioned. On top of that I have panic anxiety disorder, I've had that for 20 years. I've been to the emergency room twice within a month for palpitations, I've been to my cardiologist and all the test that were performed didn't find any heart problems. I even wore a heart monitor for two weeks and no issues. I am 99% sure I have a hiatal hernia because I've done some of the suggestions I've found on the Internet and RUclips, like pushing down under the rib cage, warm water, stand on toes and drop. Symptoms are usually relived almost every time. I have no idea what type of doctor I should see, my cardiologist said all was fine, but I know it's not.

Always keep going to ER until they help you. I was having trouble breathing,but my oxygen was 100 percent in my blood. They sent me to another hospital and one of the valves in my heart was 95% blocked. They went in and put a stent in there and gave me meds to take. I feel so much better. Thank God I wouldn't accept that my heart was ok. I knew something was wrong.
Glad you know your own body and were tenacious.
What did you mean by that one of your heart valves was 95% blocked ?
Hello Dr vikki. Thank you so much for this video. I have been having this issue since my covid 19 vaccin ( august 18th) till now . It’s is very frustrating and scary sometimes. I don’t have any chest pain but I do have shortness of breath somethings , dizziness and all. And in the past, I had an acid reflux for my stomach . But now I’m just tired of going to the ER, doctors and all. They are telling me that my heart is fine but I’m not feeling okay 😭😭. Please what should I do ?
Same goes wt me here :(
Yeah...same here :/ Just got back from the ER yesterday and try to find a diagnosis on my own, because my heart and lung are fine, but I feel dizzy, my heart is racing when I walk ~10m (130 pulse) and it´s difficult to breathe.
Got it after the booster with Biontech in January
Chiropractors can pull it down for you
Same thing with me!! No problems with acid reflux or racing heart or weird chest/esophagus spasms… it’s been weird to say the least
Thank u so much. Exactly what been going on with me.
I really thank you very much I havent slept for 1week cause I felt I was gonna die and I thought my lungs are damage
Same thing here
Did you ever feel like you couldn't take a deep breath
@@Jojohall1972 Yep my case

The next step is to receive treatment so that you don't need to consider suffering. I understand how miserable that is. Consider giving us a call at 408-733-0400 and we can schedule a free phone consultation is you're interested.
Hi Vikki, I am from South Africa and am 1000% certain that my hiatus hernia is causing my severe symptoms. I wake up and go to sleep with a shortness of breath. I have had a few scopes and have been diagnosed with a hiatus hernia but most doctors seem to think that it isn't the cause to my shortness of breath. This has been going on for over 10 years and I am only 29. I cannot live like this. Is there any way to schedule a remote call or to deal with you from this side because you really seem to understand alot about this. I really need to sort this out. It is really tough to live a happy life under these circumstances. Please do let me know. Much love, Daniel
Hello Daniel. I would love to help, and you're right, it does sound like the hiatal hernia is likely causing your symptoms. I'll be honest, it's a big challenge when you're outside the U.S. because I can't do the tests I can do here. But you're way too young to be suffering in this way. Please send an email to: NewPatient@RootCauseMedical.com and let's see what we can do.
