This is What a Hiatal Hernia Attack Feels Like

In this video, Dr. Vikki Petersen explains what a hiatal hernia attack feels like and why symptoms can be misdiagnosed or misunderstood. While the hernia itself does not cause pain, it disrupts the body’s natural ability to prevent stomach acid from refluxing into the esophagus, leading to GERD, heartburn, bloating, and pressure in the chest. She highlights common symptoms, including heart palpitations, dry mouth, anxiety, and difficulty breathing, which many patients mistakenly associate with heart conditions or panic attacks. Dr. Petersen emphasizes that treating the root cause of hiatal hernia, rather than just managing symptoms, can restore digestive and nervous system balance naturally.

Dr. Vikki Petersen’s new book, Hiatal Hernia Syndrome, Many Symptoms One Cause shows a long list of symptoms that have this one root cause that very often is misdiagnosed.
