Posted - 03/14/2013 : 21:35:57 I currently am diagnosed with gerd but the bigger issue is pain from a hiatal hernia squeezing into my chest. It hurts my chest, my throat, and sometimes my ears. This developed at a very high emotional time for me and I don't know if this is going to keep up as a structural abnormality or if it will let up. I do know that my other chronic issues have been giving me very little problems since this hell came on. Maybe it's that the mind and body have the ability to really focus on less issues at a time or maybe the other issues really were just a distraction. Who knows. |

Posted - 03/24/2013 : 21:10:52 About five years ago, I underwent an upper endoscopy. It was performed in a very busy, special clinic for these procedures. My doctor and two other physicians were all performing the same procedure and there must have been12 or 15 patients in all, undergoing the endoscopies. While in the recovery room, I overheard all three doctors telling most, if not all, of the other patients the same thing (they could have been reading from a script): "Well, the good news is that you don't have cancer; there's just a little redness down there. However, you do have what we call a hiatal hernia. Some Nexium will fix that right up." |

So is it safe to assume no one else has had any hiatal hernia issues to deal with?
Time2reclaim: I am under the imprssion that hiatal hernia is quite common and an artifact of aging. I've been so diagnosed as have many friends and family. I suspect it is a stock diagnosis for anyone complaining of "heart burn" or reflux. Do the symptoms occur while your stomach is empty? If not I would try changing your diet. I recommend a high fat and very low carbohydrate diet which promotes rapid stomach emptying. Have you ever had a heart scan?

Posted - 03/24/2013 : 15:46:38 Time2reclaim- I have to do some homework here and im not a MD, but if you approach this situation without fear and if you were to get rid of all or mostly all those repressions that hit you when your not looking you don't know what your going to get free or free of but I know, a lot of health and glow, a new out look on life tms healing therapy is good for anything just like red wine my friend. I've always wondered why the good doc said red wine? now I know. |
