Thank you so much for doing these! I've had a rare disorder and still have something else going on severely. No doctor is interested helping me figure it out because it's not simple. My state isn't good for medical care. I swear mines a hernia! I had one out of 3 EGDS done saying I had a sliding hernia and one emergency room doctor say he pushed it in (I did feel relief) but is not showing up on anything else for tests, so no help. It causes a vice grip pain and nausea so eating is almost impossible daily. Seeing videos like this help people like me have hope that there are good doctors that DO investigate rare happenings.

I've been having issues with my abdomen , difficult breathing, walking, tachycardia and blueish skin upon walking, also severe pain at the sternum area, after 2 years I was told I have a diaphragmatic hernia and a duodenal ulcer.. question, do all diaphragmatic hernias require surgery? I'm having such a hard time breathing, walking just about anything..

[@jerrypease]

Dr. Buck, I appreciate you taking the time to make a video explaining this type of hernia. There isn't much information about them on the net. I was in a motorcycle accident a year and a half ago and broke all but the #1 and #12 rib on the left side and had to have 3 plated due to non-union 4 months later. I still deal with a lot of pain from nerve damage but am just finding out a month ago that I have a diaphragmatic hernia. I felt relieved because I thought that would help with the upper abdominal pain I've been dealing with from the very beginning, but after sitting down with my surgeon he seems to think this will not help with the pain because "there are not a lot of pain receptors around the diaphragm". But I have read abdominal pain can be associated with diaphragmatic hernias, plus you mentioned it as well. I'd appreciate if you could bring some clarity to this. Thanks in advance

[@levanhunts]

Dr. Buck, I am just wondering, I just had a chest X-ray and was told that I have an elevated diaphragm on the right side. I am also having problems with tachycardia and palpitations. My heart rate gets up to 170 during the day and while resting is above 100. This has been going on for a couple months now. What causes your diaphragm to be elevated?

[@TheChaosNeo]

Have you heard of this happening to someone?

[@pammross7182]

Dr. Buck... We rescued a four year old male feline. He had been hit by a car and had a broken leg and experienced a diaphragmatic hernia. We had him X-rayed as just a check up and that is where it was found ten years ago. The emergency vet advised not to do surgery because he felt it had adhered to too many organs and his mortality was in question. From you video, what is happening now is that there is a bulge on his left side. We can touch it and it doesn't bother him to do so. He is 14 and I know surgery is very risky at this point. On the good side, he is active, eating, going toilet well and a very happy (spoiled) cat. What is your advise. He still leaps and runs and plays. I really don't want to put him through risky surgery at this point. He had so much stress before we brought him home.

[@SonjaBecky]

I’m sorry this guy didn’t bother answering you. I know it’s been two years, and I’m hoping the cat was able to be helped. I read your post and wanted to express gratitude to you for trying to help him regardless of what the outcome was. If only there were more people like you

I have been trying to find out what’s wrong with me for 7 years!! I’m a professional singer and I twisted out of bed really quick one day and got a long what seemed and felt Like Charlie horse in my ribs/abdomen It finally went away after about 10 seconds. But I twisted again a week later and just kept getting these spasms in my side and abs. I’ve had every test done and I’ve found herniated discs in my back and I’ve had nerve blocks and everything but something still isn’t right. I feel like I can’t breath well, or rapidly, and it just feels like my side is going to cave in or something sometimes. I’m going to my doctor to talk to him about a diaphragm injury. I’ve read someone had gotten a diaphragm rupture from cross fit, rathe than blunt force or trauma. I find my instance was more of a twisting sports injury. I guess my question is, is that possible to tear your diaphragm very slightly from twisting rapidly and then live with it for 7 years undiagnosed? All the treatments I’ve been reading about terrify the hell out of me so any peace of mind would REALLY be appreciated! Thank you!

If the case is not as severe (minimal tear in diaphragm and minimal amount of small bowel in chest cavity) is it possible to do this laparoscopically or would you still use the same approach?

[@xqztliltart]

I had the surgery a month ago...part of my stomach, spleen and intestines were inside the chest, these organs were pull down through laparoscopy and the dr had to stich up 10 cm hole on the diaphragm without using any mesh. Still recovering, I can't really eat much tho. SPO2 n heart rate reading is much better before the surgery even though the left lung is not fully expanded.

I currently have a diaphragmatic hernia. I was told its congenital (which is possible since my parents didn't have insurance so no insurance = no ultrasounds) BUT they didn't find it until I was in a car accident at 16 and the med student putting in my chest tube punctured it. I have no clue if it is truly congenital or not, I just know I still have it and I'm terrified it'll rupture at some point 😫

[@lallieuk]

I have a right sided diaphragmatic herni, caused by 4 hernia's being meshed across my stomach with Johnson & Johnson mesh. It then literally ran like a ladder in stockings and went undiagnosed for over 10 years, despite frequent stays in hospital (gastro ward). I had endless outpatients, scheduled for one hernia in 2008 but for some reason it was cancelled. GP eventually refused to refer me once it starting pushing on my lung. Eventually went private and had it diagnosed. Nice consultant felt it was too large, I literally look like I have a beer belly like the Simpson cartoon, but too late for elective surgery. I was not born with this but for years was 'fobbed off' as a whiner and attention seeker by hospital staff. Breathing still laboured by not allowed to see asthma nurse and GP just not interested. So annoying.

I once had an accident while wrestling and felt something tear inside of my abdomen on the left side, somwhere deep inside.

So I had a fall in December and started having respiratory distress most marked after eating and/or drinking in early March. The respiratory distress was eased and erased by laying down and by hanging in the pool in deep water. After 4 days straight of hanging in deep water in the pool, I have far less respiratory distress now but do still have discomfort on palpitation from my xyphoid process to my umbilicus. I have a GI appointment on Tuesday. Can't wait to find out the problem and have a solution! Any thoughts? Should I go to the emergency room? I have no fever or other signs of illness. I also had an episode about 2 weeks before the start of the shortness of breath where I was talking and breathed in at the same time and had pain in my xyphoid process when I would breath in only. It went away after a day.

Hey Dr Buck. I am an IMG who is taking 2 years off to study for the USMLE step 1 to make sure I maximize my score.

Tell me what you think if there are potential consequences of taking years off after medical school. FYI in my country medical school is like a bachelor's degree (MBBS) . It is my opinion that in the long run I shouldn't worry about how much time i take off as long as I maximize my score.

you should only take 1 year off. the admissions people will ask u why u took 2 years. I took one year and they were abit leary about that. I think that hurt me a bit but still had good score so that made up for a bit. 2 years i think is too long.

[@SonjaBecky]

@@Trissy33Health-Fightermuscle relaxants might make it difficult to breathe. When there is something obstructing your tidal or passive breathing, your accessory respiratory muscles kick in; if you take muscle relaxants it might weaken those muscles to a point where it makes breathing harder.

The Doctors also told me that I needed 2 weeks to fully recovered. Lol. It's been 12 weeks and my knee has improved but it still hurts when I do certain leg movements.

Hey dude!!!!! Answer your viewers questions!!!!!!

[@drbuckparker]

First, I answer as many as possible. Second, I am under no obligation to answer any questions. Third, some I cannot answer due to lack of information. Fourth, I’ve spent thousands of hours and tens of thousands of dollars making free videos for people so they can understand these problems better. So I think I have done plenty.

Can you get this from singing multiple hours over course of years?

[@enmanuelperdomo9184]

I had this surgery done three months ago and I’ve been in a lot of pain still I wonder if it’s the mesh or nerve damage .
