Heart Palpitations, Shortness of Breath, but your heart is fine?

[@shubzahmed9604]

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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?

[@DrVikkiPetersen]

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.

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.

[@Kindlycallmecarebear]

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Since last week I have been having many of these symptoms. I feel short of breath, my chest feels always tight, sometimes I feel dizzy and my sleep has been awful. I wake up randomly with a rapid heart beat and I feel that it is a heart attack. I went to the hospital twice, both times I got an ecg, blood test and the second time I got an x-ray of my chest. The results were absolutely fine. I’m 16 and the doctors said my heart was great. Although this was good news it almost scares me because I still get the symptoms. My parents think it is anxiety as well as the doctors, however I can just be relaxed in my house and still feel chest pain and shortness of breath. I’ve been all over trying to find what this could be. I’m worried because this has only started happening since last week. Since then I have feared for my life. When I lay down I also hear sounds in my stomach loud and clear. I keep trying to remember what I did last week that could have caused this. I helped my dad with heavy bags of rubble and thought this could have done something to my chest. On the same day I took a cold shower which I don’t usually do.

Out of all the things it could be it was this which i didn’t think it was. I also was worried about my heart as it would be rapidly randomly and I was told it was a bit irregular or something like that. So I’ve got medication for them.

@@Fumes2 Just remember that taking antacids have long term side effects which create more problems. Also, medicating your heart when the problem is likely, at its root, your stomach, just doesn't make sense. It's your decision certainly, but the path your taking involves too many drugs in my opinion, and it's not getting to the true underlying cause and fixing it permanently.

[@Fumes2]

Dr. Vikki Petersen I got prescribed the medication here in England by my GP who has detected that my heart is irregular. I told the GP that my heart races when at rest and therefore I was given the medication for that. In addition I was given medication for the acid reflux which has seemed to help. I have suffered no side effects at all by either of these two medications. I am on vacation at the moment here in the US and when I get back to the UK I’m seeing my GP for blood tests.

This is me exactly and it’s been for years. Prob about 5 years now and it’s gotten better but still struggle with breathing. Whenever I went to the er they would just do an ekg and tell me yeah you’re fine it’s all in your head and I started to truly believe I’m just crazy and it’s just my severe anxiety (Edit) I think it all started after I had cysts on my ovaries and doctors gave me medication that tore my gastrointestinal and made me vomit alot of blood. Then at the er they told me, I’m not vomiting blood because of medication and refused to accept that even though when I looked up the medication it was an extreme side effect and they still said no. I lost all faith in our healthcare system and haven’t been to a doctor since

For the past 13 days I have been feeling pressure on my chest/stomach, frequent diarrhoea, shortness of breath 24/7, restlessness (difficulty falling asleep) increased heart rate whenever I stand up and take a few steps (my heart beats fast), loss of appetite (I am never hungry and have to force myself to eat) and fatigue. The main symptoms are the chest/stomach pressure and shortness of breath. I’ve been to the ER, where I have had a blood test, chest X ray, oxygen therapy, electrocardiogram, blood pressure checked and everything had turned out perfect and I cannot get a diagnosis.

HI Christian, I just responded to another comment, but I'll answer this one as well. It's likely very treatable naturally and I would really like to help. Consider calling us for a consultation - 408-733-0400. It's unfortunate, but most doctors don't know how to handle these symptoms.

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.

[@DrVikkiPetersen]

Glad you know your own body and were tenacious.

What did you mean by that one of your heart valves was 95% blocked ?

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

[@DrVikkiPetersen]

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: [e-mail] and let's see what we can do.

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 ?

[@rahayuhandan]

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

I've been going to a cardiologist who seems to be unconcerned about my symptoms of palpitations, PVCs and shortness of breath, because my eco cardiogram and EKG looks fine. I know there's something wrong and it's frustrating knowing I'm going to need to find another doctor who finally take me seriously when I say that I know my own body and something is 100% not right, regardless of what the tests say. I feel like there's a general complacency, laziness and maybe a tendency to gaslight a little in almost every doctor I've seen recently. I need a doctor who is a problem solver who is willing to take the deep dive into my medical issue which I believe is killing me.
