Does this sound familiar to anyone??? Your'e trying to go to sleep your heart is pounding.. an hour later its at 120 beats per minute. Your nauseous, have dry heaves, belching alot. Your heart slows down your body is shaking then you feel ok.
Is this from a hiatal hernia? Please share any similar experiences.
Last time this happened we had to call the paramedics because heart rate was 150.

Hello lc72704
I'm no expert, but this does no sound like a hernia (it could be), but I don't think so. Perhaps you could consider having panic attacks. Check with your doctors.I say this because I have them. It feels like your heart is pounding out of your body. My heart pounder so fast, it caused temporary paralysis from the neck fown. At one time, the only thng that moved are my eyes. It was very scarry.
Please, check into it. Be blessed.

Doctors have said the symptoms are similar to panic attacks. But because they come on out of nowhere and can be triggered by what I eat we are leaning towards the cause being the hh.
Take care

Thanks lc72704 for your concern. I think forums like this are needed for people who are going through tough health issues and able to discuss with others. It is good to vent with strangers sometimes. I think it's healthy.
However, never take the advice from anyone other than your doctor. If he or she believes it is hh, go with it. I hope you feel better soon. Be blessed!

I've had this for a very long time. I had an endoscopy and it showed a small hiatal hernia and some damage from acid reflux. Doc put me on Pariet for a month and once I came off it, it became much worse! I was driving two days ago and blacked out from my fast heart rate. Thank goodness I was going slowly because I was feeling uneasy (I'm sure you know the feeling) so I could stop in time (in the middle of a busy road). Someone stopped and called the ambulance, where they told me my heart beat is irregular. By the time I got to the hospital, it had returned to normal.
My gastro has informed me that palpitations are definitely linked to acid reflux. He said that the only solution is meds to control acid production (besides the surgery, which the risks outweigh the benefits apparently). So I'm a firm believer of the body healing itself and going the natural route. It may take longer and more persistence but the results will last. Cut out the foods that cause acid, eat smaller meals, don't lie down or bend after meals, don't eat 3 hours before bed, do the massages to bring down the hernia, do exercises and yoga to strengthen the diaphragm and try to control stress and stay off meds as much as possible. All the best!
