Hiatus hernia anatomy

[@semiasims0714]

It's crazy that we have to come to KZbin to figure out our issues and illnesses even after we've paid multiple doctors to simple explain to us what's wrong our bodies. I was in that GI office 10 min and you explained this so effortlessly. Thanks bunches!

[@sandiparker7883]

So true, I experience the same thing @ my GI dr. This information so informative got a better understanding than the wasted trip to my GI dr.

[@jordanwardan7588]

you shouldn't. this video isn't medical advice, it exists for educational and entertainment purposes. you personally cannot do anything about your GI problems after watching this, but you can have a more productive session with your internist. it's dangerous to self diagnose but it's useful to know the anatomy and the names of things involving your suspected condition. a patient with a disease becomes an expert in their disease, and they are the most important person in their healthcare team. it's a team.

[@NeelJ]

Because we can’t explain them correctly what is wrong and how it feels

[@Godsmackguy26]

I have reversed all my issues listening to doctors on KZbin. Mind you, have to do you research and don’t take any one video for granted. Start by listening to people who have success with the same issues you are having and just listen. After seeing 10 videos or so you will see a pattern and alot of similarities. I have several doctors that i trust and will always trust because they explained the way the system is broke. 2 examples for everyone is Dr Ken Berry and Dr Eric Burg. Theres many more !

After 6 months of going to the ER and in the hospital twice no one could figure out what was wrong with me. They sent me to a cardiologist and to a pulmonary specialist. All good on both. Then they found a hiatal hernia that is making my short of breath and my heart pounding upon walking. BAM I am finally diagnosed with Hiatal Hernia Syndrome. It’s been 10 months now and I am Finally getting surgery this month sometime. My oxygen level would me normal sitting and walking 50 steps my oxygen would drop to the high 80’s……it’s been a long time since I have had a decent day. Prayers for everyone glad we have videos like this to help up understand things.

My entire stomach and a bit of small intestine was in my chest cavity pushing on my heart and both lungs. My primary blamed my shortness of breath was asthma. Boy was he wrong!

Thank you, this was so helpful. I have periods where I feel like I can’t draw a full breath. I told my family doctor, at the time, years and years ago about it and without doing any diagnostic testing or explanation, he dismissed it as a hiatus hernia. Now, years later, I was hospitalized with a kidney stone and as a result of scans for that, the hiatus hernia was confirmed. My current family doctor told me this and I told him what the previous doctor had told me. He seemed puzzled that a hiatus hernia could affect my breathing. I’ve come to the conclusion that a lot of GP’s aren’t as informed about this condition as they should be.

[@lavendergal2508]

You are exactly right they are into related. I have a hernia that causes me quite a bit of discomfort and chronic low to even moderate level shortness of breath. I had a nurse practitioner listening to my lungs for a work physical a few months back and she could tell I had a hernia by my lung sounds. I’ve never had anyone say that before ever had this hernia for several years now. SorryThat you were also experiencing this

@DIY Sensei The belching is the tip off. Every time my HH acts up I get fore warned by having a lot of belching before the actual pain starts. It gives me time to take the meds to help alleviate it.

[@shytguy]

@Based God yes I am going through this right now. I feel like I can’t breathe sometimes. Sometimes I feel great. Sometimes I get this rising feeling in my abdomen and then I can’t breathe. I have this bulging thing in my stomach when I do crunches and it’s definitely some sort of hernia. I’m getting shoulder and arm pains and my cardiologist said I’m fine and took all the tests. Something is wrong. It’s scary. People think I’m having a panic attack. But I know my body and know something is wrong in there. My endoscopy didn’t reveal anything but mild gastritis acid reflux and dyspepsia. Pretty sure some sort of hernia in blocking my breathing sometimes. How can I get this fixed?

[@andreasanchez2815]

[@osmanvincent1975]

Four decades ago, I had severe GERD for about two years. I suddenly started having severe stomach pains. I was initially misdiagnosed by a doctor as having ulcers. Doing a difficult plumbing job several months before, I had forced part of my stomach up through or past the diaphragm. I did not know that at the time: it was several years later that I made the connection. Sometimes this happens naturally without a clear cause. Normally, the esophagus sphincter and the diaphragm muscles line up and reinforce each other. If part of the stomach is pushed or pulled up through the diaphragm, the sphincters and muscles don’t line up and stomach acid can more easily leak into the esophagus, causing GERD. I took me a couple of years to realize that I really had Gerd. The I figured out a simple cure: I would drink a couple glasses of cold water first thing in the morning and jump up and down for a couple minutes to jiggle the stomach back down to its normal position. It took a while for the esophagus to adapt to the longer length. I would repeat the process anytime I got an acid taste in my mouth. I have been trouble free for 2-3 decade now. I later learned of a gastroenterologist in Michigan who recommends this process also; maybe others now also. The body needs strong hydrochloric acid in the stomach to trigger the esophageal sphincter to close, to break down bulk foods generally, and to specifically separate amino acids in proteins to be effectively absorbed in the intestines and used by the human body. Most or all GERD medicines block the production of or neutralize the hydrochloric acid and thus interferes with protein digestion and interferes with esophageal sphincter closing. Not good. Glad to see somebody else here recommend the same thing.

[@EdnaLigalig]

thank you for sharing. i will do what you did. i have hiatal hernia ang anti acids med makes me more sick

[@avtarchana609]

Using PPI Blockers eg omeprazole, will interfere with the normal digestion process with all the side effects of undigested food going through the intestines.

[@amolshenoy6745]

How long did you do the morning jumps...couple of min or more

[@riteasrain]

I discovered that solution years ago too - except I don't jump up and down, my toes stay on the ground and then you go down on your heels with some force, elbows and arms crossed and lifted across the chest (which opens up the chest area). Do it about 10 times.

[@honeybunch6473]

I had been getting heart palpitations and shortness of breath , anxiety, chest pain (...and mysterious debilitating shoulder blade pain), waking up in the middle of the night feeling I couldn't breath for several months and was scared I was dying. I had raced to the emergency room SEVERAL time. Until I gave up feeling something was wrong and thinking I was straight up crazy. Well time naturally went by I still had symptoms and exhaustingly go to urgent care until all things pointed to my stomach. I seen a provider for back pain (at this point I felt I was dying from everything) and she asked me if I had acid reflux I said, "Yes!, ...its in my back???!" She recommended I see my gastroenterologist for a hiatal hernia. She stated she the same back pain when she discovered she had a hiatal hernia. ----I thank God for her. I have yet to be seen for an endoscopy. The best part about this is now I know Im not crazy.

[@mattyice230]

You're not crazy. I raced to the ER and urgent care numerous of times and saw a cardiologist. All my cardiac tests came back normal.

I start by trying to relax and take deep breathes through my nose and exhaling out my mouth. After a few minutes if not less I can belch and release the pressure that is causing the discomfort. I'm an IT guy with no medical experience, but for some reason I think what causes my problem is stress and not breathing correct. Thank you for all your videos.

Thank you for this video. I have GERD and a hiatial hernia. I’ve had surgery for strictures three times over the last 7 years. The worst part of it is bending over and having food come back up and constantly coughing. I was told that there is surgery that can fix it but the side effects don’t sound good. None of the gastrointestinal drs ever explained what was happening so this video has helped me understand the issue much more clearly

[@DoDgeSwaG]

Yup bending over automatically triggers acid reflux for me too so I avoid it as much as possible. I’ve had this for about 6 yrs now and narrowed my triggers down to where I don’t need acid reducer medication like omeprazole but occasionally pop some tums in when I get a flare up. Most of my triggers come from my diet so I found out for me, avoiding spice, greasy food, breads, too much carbonated drinks, and acidic drinks or foods like orange or pineapple or lime flavored chips for example...if I were to rate it I’d say 80% of my gerd is controlled and occasionally I’ll get it badly to where I’ll pop some tums immediately. I carry tums like an epi pen 😂

[@footplate0]

bending over also does it for me but the most problems that I get is at night. I am asleep and the next thing I know is that I wake up with a mouth full of vomit. It sounds as bad as it is !! I am on omeprazole but still sometimes it happens. No one has suggested any sort of treatment other than omeprazole. So it looks like it is something that I will have to put up with for the rest of my life. I have had it for 30 years, so a few more wont matter. Thanks for posting

Thanks for this, i have been battling a HH for 15 years, docs had me on 40mg ppi's in my 20s which have destroyed my knees. Managed to reduce dose to 20mg but up until 14 months ago, had been aiming to reduce acid. Now i have realised that increasing acid with betain hcl and pepsin and ACV actually controls my reflux through rhe day without ppi's although still have the reflux at night which a couple of rennies is usually enough. My aim is to resolve all naturally, tried all the heel drops, massage etc without any success. My thought is that the low acid from PPIs has weakened the LES over time and worsened the HH. This video is a great tool for me to visualise what i am attempiting to correct. Anyone suffering with reflux really needs to first of all rule out low acid as the root cause, you may nip it in the early days withouth the additional damage by long term meds.

Hey Lorraine, what kind of esophageal dismotility you have ?

[@samvance6571]

I had been having GERD symptoms for years and treated them by using antacids which are very bad for body chemistry. I also found relief by sleeping on my left side, elevating my upper torso while sleeping on my back, not laying down sooner than two hours after eating and eating smaller meals. I used to be a big buffet fan, especially with the great tasting unlimited food on cruiseships. Total relief finally came via a KZbin that suggested drinking two cups of warm water as soon as you get out of bed in the morning. With this one pound weight in your stomach, raise up on your toes, then collapse down on your heels several times. This pulls your esophagus down into your diaghram by the weight of the stomach. You could also bounce on a mini-trampoline (rebounder) to make it easier on your spine. It worked for me on the first day and I felt instant relief. My main symptoms before were GERD, difficulty swallowing and feeling a lump under my sternum. My guess is I had a sliding hiatal hernia for about 3-4 years. Taking extra care to eat slowly, only eat until I am not hungry and not until I feel my stomach is full. Good luck.

I had the severe symptoms you described along with severe bloating. I saw my chiropractor who practices applied kinesiology. He said it sounded like a hiatal hernia. He pressed and pushed downward on the stomach area. This pushed the stomach downward and back into place. I had immediate relief with reflux and bloating. It took five days for the vagus nerve to settle down. No hernia symptoms in five months, however I continue to struggle with vagus nerve issues. Chiropractor visits are the only thing that help.

[@vaccinefraud5570]

Chiropractic adjustments are good but often don't address the underlying cause(s) not arising from trauma. Most motile microbes can migrate from the stomach to the vagus nerve. What happens in Vagus doesn't always stay in Vagus. This can be H. pylori or spirochetes (lyme that specializes in eating that connective tissue that degrades well before we 'age') or even the microbes created by DARPA and doped into yoghurt to modify peoples' moods (and what else?). Hulda Clark said that most cases of hiatal hernia could be traced to microbe overgrowth weakening the sphincter. A good dose of iodine (ONLY IF YOU'RE NOT ALLERGIC) best in the nascent form might clear up such an infection. Too much potassium from KI could stop some people's heart so I avoid that at all costs. Since the Vagus shares the same wiring conduit as the stomach plumbing if there is something wrong with the stomach then the clench or weakening in the diaphragm will translate to either or both systems. Get rid of the cause and both stomach and nerve should stabilize.

[@MyLittleGreenHairdedMermaid]

​@parineetasarma3309 do you speak english.... im guessing not cause that makes no sense

[@genxtechguy]

@@vaccinefraud5570I understand what you’re saying, but I didn’t realize h pylori could attack the vegus nerve. H pylori is usually contained within the stomach. I think the vegus is outside of the stomach.

[@vaccinefraud5570]

​@@genxtechguy I apologize in advance for writing a book, but you ask the only relevant questions that are never answered by allopathy or alterNOTive medicine. I'm not a doctor so this is just personal experience. Although H. pylori often shows up as a FOCUS infection in the stomach because it burrows beneath the mucosa to then damage the parietal cells to lower stomach acid for a nice cozy condominium to live in, and although herpes simplex often shows up on the lips as a focus infection, they can be and are systemic for various reasons. Thanks to Lida Mattman and Mel Thorburg we know that herpes is merely chunks of spirochetes and that the use of antibiotics NEVER took away a single disease in the history of those chemotherapies. Antibiotics merely makes Cell Wall Deficient forms of bacteria that can then roam the body, harm it in stealth mode, and evade detection and removal by the immune system because they lack surface antigens. This means that although H. pylori and spirochetes like syphilis and lyme are BURROWING corkscrews with flagella and can swim through blood vessels, burrow into the walls and eat connective tissue, once they have lost the cell walls the component parts can then invade intracellular spaces for actions and diseases that rival any science fiction story you've ever seen. So, although the cell wall competent form might be happy hiding deep inside stomach tissue, if they are induced to migrate or if they are cause to lose their cell walls they can go anywhere without a preference. My stomach was contaminated with an organism that was susceptible to high doses of Nascent Iodine so I was able to beat down and defeat what might have been labeled a hiatal hernia that allowed for GERD. Much later I developed something similar but the Nascent Iodine didn't touch it. It's my opinion that a Gram Negative organism is less likely to respond to iodine's antimicrobial action. It turns out that hot pepper is not antimicrobial or bacteriostatic but is just makes buggers angry so that they leave. Under the impression that I had either the corkscrews of H. Pylori or Borrellia I increased my intake of hot pepper to drive them out of the stomach while taking Cedar Resin to keep anything leaving the suburbs from getting into the sewers (lymphatic system). I was successful at not only chasing what was in my stomach away, but it also resolved DECADES of what is called a Smoldering Appendix. I was overjoyed until I realized since these interventions were not bacteriocidal but merely irritants, so that I had chased them into interstitial spaces for a brand new set of problems. It seems daunting and defeating, however the smoldering appendix was debilitating so my new problems were no different than taking antibiotics, having the main complaint go away, and then being told by an ignorant allopath that I spontaenously came up with some new named or unamed disease that they had no idea what the orgin might be. Idiopathic. Of course from what I just described it is OBVIOUS what happened and where these 'new' diseases come from for everyone not just me. So - to FINALLY answer your question - these corkscrews can either burrow through tissue looking for new organs to damage or the organism is hit by antibiotics then the component parts that are shed can filter through the circulatory systems of the body to find new homes and then VOILA! all of a sudden you've got buggers in your Vagus Nerve and everywhere else. Like I said these infections have a focus from which they spread but are often systemic. I think it was after the Deep Water Horizon oil spill that there was an insanely aggressive cholera that could eat the flesh off of your legs in hours if you were just standing in the waters off of Florida. When we take this kind of action and couple it with the standard cholera toxins that open up tight junctions between cells such as is found in Leaky Gut syndrome then we can project that there are bugs out there that can either destory tissue to slip from say the stomach to the vagus nerve that is the neighbor of the esophagus, or just slip through the relaxed spaces between cells to conquer new territory. This ability is probably the concept used by DARPA when they started creating organisms like lactobacillus that can alter a person's mood by attaching to the vagus nerve. Which demands an answer to: How do you get a recognized probiotic that is altered for the sake of neural attachment to get from the yoghurt into the gut and then across tissue into a completely different cell type target? This ain't your granny's microbiological world anymore so that is why I have to bring in the manipulated aspect of it. Genital herpes can be inoculated and then measured at the base of the spine in a couple of hours! Several decades ago a whistleblower in the pharmaceutical industry was featured in the Skeptical Inquirer saying that they knew during WWII from people huddling in the underground tunnels of Britain during air raids, that H. pylori was a fecal-borne agent and that it caused ulcers. But the anti-acid industry had grown to be a billion dollar a year venture, so the ORIGIN was covered up. Covered up to the point of forcing people into the extortion of lowering stomach acid which was NEVER the problem in the first place because that is where H. pylori likes to live (higher pH) since the infection itself LOWERED the stomach acid, so the pain felt was merely the erosion of the stomach mucosa allowing lower levels of acid through to self-digest the stomach. This then becomes the circus of needing to go to H2 blockers to lower acid levels further that serves the proliferation of the H. pylori that then causes MORE EROSION that then is MORE SENSITIVE to the LOWER stomach acid, that then makes the victim demand MORE relief so that they are on proton blockers to the point where the pH sensors at the duodenal sphincter won't allow food to pass because it hasn't achieved the right pH so it would only ROT in the small intestines - but DON'T WORRY they us Reglan OFF-LABEL to move that sludge through! They were covering for the infectious origin of uclers and GERD since WWII. I was able to remove the first infection that I had with large doses of Nascent Iodine, but the second infection was different so I was unable to rid it with the same intervention, but re-located it with methods that I do NOT recommend to others. We need to be able to remove, not relocate these bugs, or we will be no better off than the sins committed on us by allopathy. We're still looking for the solution. It's the best 'soundbite' that I can offer. Hope it wasn't too much.

Hi. I have been diagnosed with a Hiatus Hernia and cyst in my stomach. I've it for years and have regularly suffered Acid Reflux which is vile. Your lecture on the hiatus hernia was excellent and really helped me to understand exactly what it is. Thank you. Astrid

[@freepress8451]

I have 2 hernia's:- hiatus hernia & umbilical hernia with a very large belly-button bulge and a painful distended abdomen. My GP referred me to the hospital (a teaching one no less) and the first Doctor I saw said 'I am not a magician why your GP can't prescribe you a laxative?" - its constipation!!! Not one Doctor in his department would question the first diagnosis, so I am going private - this one Doctor at Cardiff & Vale University Health Board illustrates why increased supervision is needed!

[@scottpardee6303]

Wow. This was great, and reading the comments helps as well. In my case, I am sure the hiatal hernia resulted from how I dealt with constipation. I would sit for a long time, and do crossword puzzles, while pushing as hard as I could. Gradually, my doctors put me on laxatives, but apparently not strong enough to clear me out. My grandmother warned me about sitting too long, because it gives you hemorrhoids, but I never followed her advice. My scoutmaster said, “S...t or get off the pot.” Hemorrhoids can block the sphincter. So my biggest mistake was sitting doing crossword puzzles and not adhering to their advice. From what Sam says, it is clear that the pressure on my esophagus from pushing down below caused my hiatal hernia. Listen to your grandmother and scoutmaster. And listen to Sam, who has done a better job than my doctors in explaining my problem.

Don't take Alka seltzer for the heart burn. The aspirin it contains thins the esophageal lining creating a hazard of skin tears within the esophagus. A tear over a blood vein causes internal bleeding that flows down the esophagus into the stomach and out the lower intestine. Symptoms are bloody stool and or bloody diarrhea along with chocolate colored vomiting. I'm not a G.I. doctor but a life long sufferer of Hiatal hernia.

Over the past 15 years (I am 71) I feel I have this condition. I do not have a big problem with acid-reflux but I do have a problem sometimes when eating. I have discovered my biggest problem is when I eat rice, and on occasion it feels like I swallow and the food gets “stuck” half way down. At this point I cannot eat or drink anything else and I will go to the bathroom with a glass of water. Drinking the water will cause me to throw up the stuck food often accompanied with a big belch. Nothing is throw up from the stomach, just the water and the stuck food. After this I can continue eating, avoiding the rice. It does not happen every time I eat rice and usually I can go months without a problem.

Have had a Hiatal Hernia since being pregnant in the mid 70's, but only since moving to the Rockies had breathing and heart (appearing) issues. 15 years ago (within 2 years of moving to 7500 ft. elevation) I began having a number of strange symptoms. I would become out of breath and felt like I couldn't get enough air into my lungs, like they simply weren't expanding as they should. This was written off as a result of the thin oxygen at this elevation. I began to have numbness in my arms and dizzy spells. An unusual stress test at the cardiologist suggested badly clogged arteries. I had an electrocardiogram and everything was clear. The doctor's diagnosis was Prinzmetal Syndrome, or Coronary artery spasms. My questions would be is there a relation between Hiatal hernia (I now have 1/3 of my stomach in my chest cavity per CT scan) and a. elevation, or b. coronary artery spasms. I will be having surgery in the fall.

Thank you so very much for this demonstration and lesson. The most fatiguing and embarrassing symptom I suffer from my hiatal hernia is monstrous BELCHING, which no one has mentioned here. I am a retired opera singer whose hernia began in my 40s. My profession turned me into an Olympic industrial strength breather. The doctor at the beginning suggested I have my stomach internally investigated and, despite the diagnosis, merely treated me with antacids, which only worsened my condition. Over the years, the belching is more or less severe, has never gone away, and is exhausting. I continued to sing & teach, and now that I am retired, I am more and more fed up with this condition that I have suffered with for 30 years. I can only thank you, KZbin and alternative medicine for explanations, offering hope and solutions. By the way, I lost 35 pounds, which was good for my overall health, I assume, but it has made no difference regarding the belching and hernia. Dietary changes have helped the most.

Thanks Sam for this video. I developed all the symptoms and more beginning of the covid-19 pandemic, March 2020, and all 15 doctors that I have seen all said it’s because I have anxiety over the pandemic. That was disheartening how many doctors are careless. I got an endoscopy and sure enough I have a small hiatus hernia to which the Gastroenterologist says it shouldn’t cause any symptoms and that I simply won’t die from it. That’s it?! To this day, I experience all the symptoms everyday and the other symptoms which Sam didn’t mention is going to sound hard to believe is that I constantly have tingling in my face, lower arms/hands, and lower legs/feet as well as I can feel my whole body pulsating (Docs and people thinks I’m crazy when I tell them this.) If anyone who is reading this and knows of someone who feels their pulse and tinglings, please do share. I’m curious if I just so happen to be the one person that a hiatus hernia can cause tingling and pulsation or is something else causing all the symptoms that I feel. The first couple of months I was concern seeking doc after doc but after being told it’s anxiety, I decide to take a break from doctors and start living my life. I can’t worry my life away though I will continue to seek treatments along the way that can help me. I hope it won’t be too long of a health journey.

My doctors treating me for Anxiety with beta blockers which help reduce the heart rate when it’s racing. I’m not anxious as such but the symptoms can be a worry when they all go at once.
