| 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. |

Rebecca:
The symptoms you describe are sometimes associated with angina. I'd check it out just to be on the safe side.
Good luck. |

| So is it safe to assume no one else has had any hiatal hernia issues to deal with? |

| If it is a true hernia it is a mechanical defect not one from TMS TMS can make GERD worse |

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. |

TMS is the volume control for the pain.
G'luck!

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?

| 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." |
