1) Do most foods cause you severe stomach pain, except, say, cabbage and watermelon? Why would certain alkaline foods be a problem for Hernia sufferers?

2) Did you ever suffer from ectopic beats or diaphragm contractions?

3) Did your earliest symptoms include pain/cramp behind the left ribs perhaps when laughing?

4) Do you get a Chronic cough?

Any help would be much appreciated!

    Hi I have just been diagnosed with ectopic beats and have an hiatus hernia. I have suffered with these beats for years and are very uncomfortable but the ecg did not pick them up until now. I have been given medication but it is not really working.

    I am having a Barium Swallow at the end of this month for something else. The scan should also show the Hernia.

      Hi thomas,

      Was you having palpitations as well as the Afib. How fast was your heartbeat during the attack?

      real quick and sometimes real slow like I could put my hand on my neck feel three beats felt like it was stopping an going-best thing to do is take an asprin 81mg every day to keep your blood thin if your not on a blood thinner-if you been to a doctor you should be on xareto or another type to keep your blood thin sso helps prevent Stroke

      Afib is palpatations that can make your heart beat fast or slow-the way they found mind after me going to the ER twice a year I went to a Afib Doctor cause it wasn't caused by a heart valve so my heart Doctor said go to the Afib Doctor cause each time I went to the ER it would Stop doing it and they told me nothing was wrong-over 200million people have it in the world-They should do a Caferazation on you to make sure your heart vavles are not causing it an then put you on a blood thinner either asprin or xarelto-

      I have an apointment with my Dr tomorrow. I was diagnosed with ventricular tachycardia and ectopic beats about 2 weeks ago after an ECG. Is this the same as Afib or different. I have palpitations every day. I was given beta-blockers but they don't stop the palpitations and my heart beat is not so fast now. I have had this for years but only now the ECG picked them up.

      Thank you
