It's crazy that we have to come to KZfaq 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!

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.

I have reversed all my issues listening to doctors on KZfaq. 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 !

I had a massive Type IV Hiatal Hernia repaired in May 2023 and it made my life so much better. 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! Now that it’s repaired and my stomach is back where it belongs, my breathing is the best it’s been in years!

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.

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.

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.

@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?

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.

I had all the symptoms you describe: heartburn , breathlessness, difficulty swallowing, palpitations, etc. investigated and treated for several different conditions then found huge hiatus hernia during xrays. It went right over my GP's head and she was still searching for the 'disease' that was making my life a misery. I found LCHF and lost weight that helped and I took breathing classes and started swimming and walking and that helps a lot. Unfortunately the medical profession seems to want to give you drugs instead of taking a holistic approach. For my 'asthma' an inhaler, beta blockers for palpitations, statins for cholesterol, BP medication. I take the BP meds but that's all now, I'm my own holistic 'doctor' and hope to get off those too. Great video and it's helped me to understand what's going on.

Good explanation. I'm glad I found this KZfaq video. I have had a chronic cough for over 30 years. Over the past few years, I've had lung CTs to examine the lungs for changes, and each CT also indicated a hiatus hernia. At first, the hernia was small, the next one done a year or so later, showed moderate size. This last one showed a larger hiatus hernia. I talked to my doctor and he ordered an upper GI barium swallow test. The result of this was a diagnosis of a Type 4 Hiatus Hernia - Paraesophageal Hernia and Gastric Volvulus..My stomach is above my diaphragm and is twisted. A few times when I ate too much or too fast, I had irregular heart rhythm. This video provided a well-done explanation of what has happened.

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

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 😂

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

I have suffered with what I was told was a large Hiatal Hernia for a long time. I take Prevacid for it. I will get terrible discomfort if I eat wrong and nothing would ever help until I found this video. Understanding what the problem is, I now know ways to help deal with it. 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.

It’s really distressing hearing “it’s super common in older people and usually presents asymptomatically. To fix it, just treat acid reflux!” This video is actually beneficial because I can try and treat the actual hernia by knowing how it works. I suspect anxiety is causing my stomach to tighten.

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.

Afterwards I had the scope work done and was told it was just a hiatal hernia and nothing to worry about even though a heart attack was involved. No real explanation and pretty much blown off. Thank you for understanding that regular folks can follow the explanation. I appreciate the respect you give us by sharing your knowledge.

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.

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.

​@@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.

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 KZfaq 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.

Thanks for the nice explanation on Hiatus hernia anatomy. That really helped in understanding the reflux mechanism. In my case as soon as I hit 40 I started to have acid come up my esophagus. I talked to Gastroenterologist and he prescribed me PPI pill (omiprazole 20mg) once a day and told me that my esophageal sphincter was loose. It worked somewhat for few months and then same acid reflux was back. Now I needed to take it twice a day. Then two 20mg twice a day. Then a muscle relaxant Beclofen to tighten the sphincter further. Started with half pill then graduated to one pill twice a day 10mg along with PPIs. Now I was at six pills a day to manage acid reflux by the time I was 43. This was not very encouraging when I read that PPIs are lab tested for only three months based on manufactures datasheet of the product. One day I was on a evening walk and forgot meds after dinner. Guess what, no reflux. This stuck with me and I was able reduce meds to about half by just doing regular walking for next two months. This was quite encouraging. Then I decided to focus on two 30min walks religiously. One after lunch and one after dinner. This did it for me and I was able to reduce the reflux by about 90% with no meds. Rest got managed by managing foods ( raw tomatoes and cold milk in my case) that cause reflux and time when I eat meals. Just with walking alone I am off the acid reflux medications for about 5 years now. My doctor said that acid reflux is stress related and walking helps in reducing stress and was happy to see my progress on my next endoscopy. Walking is a great tool available to reduce acid reflux/GERD/GORD symptoms. Just need to make an effort.

Thank you , i do appreciate your comment, which is very helpful. *Your Doctor said that acid reflux ( I have it too ) is stress related and walking helps in reducing stress* Know if you can solve my other health issues, I can work on those too. *I have GERD, Erosive Esophagus, Hiatal Hernia, and Low Stomach Acid* *The only way, I found out recently, that I had Hiatal Hernia because I was going to have "EGD Test" every 6 months* . Know if I didn't do that, I would NEVER know I had Hiatal Hernia. I wanted to go that often just to keep up with Erosion Esophagus. I can see why stress overwhelm people. Because we aren't told, by our doctors how to cure it , except for the doctors like to hand out PPI.

In 2021 I am 77 years old. I had a hiatal hernia surgery in 2009. It has started unraveling. From the outside. Up until then I had no symptoms of Gerd. But now I do. I think what caused it was I started trying to throw up. At my age they don’t want to do anything to it. Because of scar tissue. Thanks for showing the model and explaining it. Thanks Barb

This is a great discussion of the anatomy, but there are several, but similar, manual techniques for bringing the 'expanded stomach' -to keep it simple - down, past the hiatus, where it belongs. Surgery is only needed in the extreme.

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.

James, your exact symptom has been with my brother for 30 years, same trouble with rice , also steak could be a problem too. Eating out was to be avoided. He has been since been prescribed Omeprazole 20mg capsules and takes 1 per day. Has had no problems since. I am no doctor but perhaps you should ask yours if it may help?

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.

I have a sliding hiatus hernia so it is very useful to know exactly what it is. Currently the symptoms are controlled by my taking Omeprazol to reduce stomach acid. They work - providing I remember to take them! (I developed it after carrying a heavy CRT television.) I was in my mid-fifties then, and I am now 64 and hoping to continue without surgery. Thanks for your explanation.

Thanks for the explanation. I have a hiatus hernia type 1 with my stomach protruding up past the diaphragm. It’s as big as a human heart. I get a lot of symptoms. Chest and stomach pain, bloating, reflux, heartburn, swallowing problems sometimes. Acid rising from my stomach at night and burning my throat. I belch an a lot. I take medication for it daily but it still causes me pain and discomfort most days. I have to be careful of what I eat. Rice, bread affects it. I often get it at night when I lay down to sleep.
