    We were on the same boat. After all the years of suffering heartburn, chest pain, high blood pressure. To the extent my primary doctor thought i am suffering from depression so she ordered me an anti-depressant medication which i am not compliant to take it because i know myself emotionally & physically. I know something is going on not just psychologically. After GI consult, found out today i also have hiatal hernia after doing Endoscopy today.

    I’m currently dealing with this… A Hiatal Hernia isn’t a joke it’s pure awful, I’ve lost over 25 pounds due to it, trouble with eating, constant nausea and dry heaves, bad breath, lack of motivation, shortness of breath, almost never hungry, getting full super fast, and staying full for hours after a meal, stomach acid always coming up, indigestion, the list of symptoms can go on and on…. I have noticed it also gives you anxiety and different mood swings so if you’re dealing with something already this condition just adds to it and makes it worse. I hate it, I don’t go out anymore with friends because I’m always afraid I might get sick so I stay home most times I hate being that one friend to always bail out and be a party pooper. Eating is challenge now, I have always been a foodie and love to devour big meals but now I can’t and I’m honestly afraid to eat anything especially in public because I always have a fear it will make me sick so I just eat at home, I avoid dining out. I miss daily activities such as going to my private gym, I can’t work out or do any physical activities due to the shortness of breath, if I run for even 1 minutes it feels like I’m dying or have asthma. It’s awful I can’t wait to get this fixed… 😢

    I wonder if my severe resistant hypertension is from Hiatel hernia? I was just diagnosed with this last month with hiatal hernia. I suffered for 10 yrs! No one figured out what was causing my epigastric pain for years. Multiple visits to the ER. Doctors told me it was “anxiety “ causing my hypertension, then sent me home. They treated me like I was a nut case, that I felt insulted. So glad that I found a good chiropractor in my local areas to discover this. My heart goes out to this man, as I know what he suffered. So happy for him that he is healed thanks to great healers like you.

    Wow! His story is similar to mine! I’ve been to the ER 50+ times from 2011 on, with severe high blood pressure, which eventually caused a stroke. Doctors couldn’t find out the cause, but did find a 1 inch Hiatus Hernia in an CT scan; so they sent me home and said to see my PCP along with taking pharmaceuticals. Got to a point that I stopped going to MDs because I was tired of them treating me like an Anxiety nut case and lazy to find the cause. I suffer from severe acid reflux that I need to sleep on three pillows and now have EOE eosphillic Esophagitis. I don’t know how to heal and cannot find a chiropractor in my area that’s specialized in treating a Hiatal Hernia. So until then, I’m stuck with a Hiatal Hernia, EOE, acid reflux, and resistant hypertension.

    I know exactly what he means, I've been suffering with mine for nearly 20 years. I've cut foods and drinks from my diet that caused the acid reflux, and heart burn, after fixing that issue, I lost the weight, and things seemed livable for several years, but in recent, body isnt getting any younger and things seem to be breaking down even harder, I run out of breath just from walking from one side of my house to the other, can't really do simple tasks as easly anymore without help, and just the recent issue that popped up, I can't really eat much anymore. My stomach will swell into my lungs causing even more difficulty to breathe, and sharp pains will start to pop up all around that area. I'm down to eating a very small meal once a day now. I don't even really feel hungry much anymore. I have to force myself to eat the small meal, just to keep my family happy.

I have been told I have anxiety and no one knows what it is I really need a doctor like this it's unbearable I can't play with my kids and doctors say there is nothing wrong there is something wrong it has really impacted my life negatively the brain fog can't think clearly it's bad

I have had acid reflux for 47 years found out I had a small hital hernia about 25 years ago. It has been probably been giving me issues for a really long time but the last 5 years have gotten worse with heart palpitations and shortness of breath sometimes. Also a slow heart rate at night. I also have SIBO that I manage with diet. I know I am gluten sensitive and lactose sensitive. I feel pretty hopeless with it all.

      I am going to different doctors from 7 years because of hiatus hernia. Now all my money is gone. Life is like hell. God save people from hiatus hernia because the main problem is you don't know what disease you have until its not diagnosed by real doctor.

      @@harshs6294 I think if you want to heal you have to attack it like a military attack
      1. LOSE weight to your ideal weight
      2. Eat standing up
      3. Dont slouch, sit upright
      4. Sleep on an incline on your left
      5. Drink water in the morning and drop on your heals to bring the stomach down
      6. Do abdominal breathing during the day
      7. Eat alkaline diet
      8. Relax during the day avoid stress as much as possible
      9. Massage hernia down to the left side from the sternum many times a day
      10. Put your hand or hands on your solar plexus or sternum and send calming healing thoughts and relax the area

    I've been telling my docs for 5 years now that the anxiety seemed as if it was coming from something physical. And of course they just kept sending me to my psychiatrist. I KNEW it wasn't mental though.. & finally had it confirmed after begging my doc to check my hiatal hernia.. So they did a barium swallow which showed I have a Large non reducible hiatal hernia and severe spontaneous gastroesophageal reflux
    to the thoracic inlet level. Thankfully I have an appointment with a surgeon coming up on the 10th. I can't wait to have all these symptoms resolve. I'm willing to bet I don't actually have copd.. I think it's from the hernia.. Because all the symptoms all began right around the same time.

      That makes sense. Since it's large, surgery is probably the best option for you. If after you're healed, you're having any difficulties, please reach out. There may be some digestive related issues that still need addressing. Consider contacting us for a consultation: call 727-335-0400.

    I have a Hiatal Hernia I found out when I had a Endoscopy done to me. I have been taking Slippery Elm to relieve the heartburn and acid reflux. Psychiatric medication made my problems worse. Well they need to quit masking it with medication. Because it can come back. You have to know exactly what's causing it. So you can get down to the nitty gritty and know how to get rid of it. However you need to learn to manage your stress level.

Had heart, lungs checked out and all were fine. Was told it was just anxiety as well. But I'm sure it's related to my stomach.

      Yes, this is very common. I've suffered and still suffering with all these symptoms for 15+ years. And nothing. My endo came out normal. Nothing out of whack. But they did test me for SIBO and that was positive. Look into that and good luck! I have another visit with my GI to do an ultra sound to my gallbladder. I always thought for past 7 years its definitely a heital hernia but nope. Wasn't that and I'm desperate at this point. Following up with dr to see what her game plan is for SIBO. You're not alone.

    The issues Michael was having sounded similar to mine.
    I went for a endoscopy and was diagnosed with a large hiatal hernia. Over half of my stomach above my diaphragm. He sent me for a barium swallow. They said I did not have a hiatal hernia.
    I'm still suffering from feeling hard to breathe, bloated, a little burning in stomach and gurgling noises coming from right below sternum when I breathe in.
    Not sure what I need to do next.
    I already have anxiety issues before all this started and now it's worse due to feeling like I can't get enough breath.
    I'd appreciate you let me know if it's a possibility to be diagnosed with hiatal hernia but then a barium swallow says different.
    Thanks.
    Edit: Oh and the fatigue and brain fog is very much what im experiencing too. I can sleep 10-12 hours a day and still feel exhausted all day.

    I’ve been having problems for about a year now. It started with shortness of breath after eating. First they tested me for COVId which came up negative. They sent me to a cardiologist and all was good. Then they said its probably gerd so I started taking ppi blockers which caused the food and acid to come up which helped the pressure and shortness of breath temporarily but food now comes up which never did before. I still have chest pains and shortness of breath. I’m getting a scope done in October to verify if I have a hernia. I’ve been struggling to figure out what’s going on so I feel this guy’s struggle.

      others like me.
      False dyspnea. When acid gets into your esophagus it constricts your lungs even if it doesnt hurt. ruclips.net/video/y89GoKfRRuA/видео.html
      Pepsin. Pepsin gas comes up to your throat when your sphincters are weak. It lodges into the flesh in your ears, sinuses, throat and even lungs. the only way to inactivate it is with high ph water. Gargling/drinking with alkaline water several times a day will very quickly improve symptoms of throat pain. You can also carefully spray it in your nose while inhaling as well as in your mouth. pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/22844861/
      This facebook group has tons of info for almost everything you need to know about this condition facebook.com/refluxhelp/?ref=page_internal
      Hiatal Hernia. This may be one of the main things that is causing all your problems.
      My symptoms started 3 weeks ago and I started my diet and treatment plan 2 weeks ago which includes ppis for acid suppresion(as i had esophigitis) as well as the lifestyle/diet changes talked about in the facebook group. I have very slowly gotten better and my breathing has improved massively compared to 2 weeks ago.
      All symptoms are different for everyone but in my case, I had constant shortness of breath, very hard time breathing in, burning pain in my chest, elevated heart rate, no appetite, chills, anxiety, throat pain, inflamed sinuses, and just generally feeling shitty. Some people may only have throat pain or even just shortness of breath with no other discernible symptoms.

      First off anxiety is huge for breathing, when I have anxiety episodes I dont notice it but my whole chest seizes up and I start getting cracking sounds on my breastbone. I also feel more concious of my breathing and maybe try to breathe more than i should.
      Second my sinuses and trachea are inflamed from acid coming up to my throat and nose, I still have inflammation in them after 4 months which makes my nose feel semi stuffy and my throat swollen.
      Thirdly I probably had inflammation in my lungs possibly from aspirated food/stomach acid or perhaps something else.

Im as many others had the same experience as you took valium because i thought i had a serious anxiety issue and had a dozen test for my heart and even was prescribed more for the higher bp all because of the HH I have brainfog forgetfulness and never had an issue ever cognitively speaking. My lung is collapsed from this thing so i hope i feel good as you after surgery

    Im in tears because I am so very happy for Michael’s progress/success. For twelve years I’ve been enduring hell and have had to go to the ER to the point that my savings was depleted. I haven’t been able to work for twelve years and lost a music career just when I was about to go on tour. I was told I have a hiatal hernia in the past year and a half and they been trying to medicate me as well, I wont have it. Now, I have been diagnosed with mild dextro-scoliosis, when I never had it having gotten extensive scans of my spine and x-rays before. I feel like this hernia is causing my spinal instability. A slew of symptoms are being endured along with deficiency issues. So i feel so stuck, have had to do a tin or research to learn how to talk to these doctors who do nothing to help. Since I don’t want to take meds they are not really invested at all. I am glad someone is spared this anguish. I am in Pa, but would come to FL

      If you don`t have ulcers, you should try taking apple cider vinegar. Distill one tablespoon in a cup of water. Take it 2x a day, first time before breakfast and the second time 2 hours before going to bed. Instead of PPI use special oils that cover your esophagus and protect it from acid. If your teeth are damaged use straw for drinking apple cider vinegar.
      Another thing is do regular exercises, walking, reasonable jogging, swimming, etc. Don`t strain your diaphragm by doing physical straining , especially don`t lift hands upward, don`t exert force upwards.

    I took doxycycline for allergies, but after the second pill, I experienced severe mental and physical side effects, including body aches, fever, vomiting, diarrhea, and weakness. I was unable to eat and had to call 911 for an ambulance due to my condition. I have a history of stomach issues, including ulcers, gastritis, a hiatal hernia, and a swollen colon, which was never treated. Since taking doxycycline, I've been experiencing constant brain fog for 8 months, which was initially misdiagnosed as anxiety and depression. However, I believe the medication has caused ongoing stomach problems that are affecting my mental clarity (brain fog).

    Hiatal hernia is awful. I have one and my quality of life has diminished tremendously. I suffer all day every day. It swells sometimes and hurts. I believe it has caused or exasperated my acid reflux. I can’t stand to eat, bend over, clean or exert myself because it causes acid to come up into my throat. It’s really bad. I was diagnosed years ago with GERD and hiatal hernia. Took prescription acid reflux medicine but stopped taking it when I read all of the side effects related to that medication. I want to call The Root Cause clinic but can’t afford any treatment right now. Maybe soon I’ll be able to and they can help me like they did this man in the video.

    Hello Dr. Vicky, I've had shortness of breath for the longest period of my life now - 10 months. I still have.

    Can totally relate to everything this guys says..
    In 2018 I started having heart palpitations then chest pains and shortness of breath.
    Sent for heart tests and given a device to wear to monitor my heart which proved nothing other than my heart was functioning properly then sent for angiogram nothing from that apart from being told my heart was in tip top condition and finally concluded the reason was I was having panic attacks and stress disorder..
    Prescribed ssri meds which I refused coz I know how dangerous they are and I just went ahead with life..
    Used to wake up most nights in panic no real reason apart from the vagus nerve deciding I shouldn’t be allowed to sleep..
    Just recently went to doctors with what I thought was a sore throat and turns out to be a sliding hiatus hernia which is causing me to gag and choke all the time and is making my life miserable..
    Also diagnosed with barrats esophagus which up to now isn’t too bad but for me the hernia is a bigger problem as im used to being active and regularly went to kick boxing and went out cycling but now as soon as i move i start choking on this damned hernia as it slides up..😢
