Misdiagnosed Hiatal Hernia: Why It Happens

Hiatal hernia syndrome is often misdiagnosed due to traditional medicine’s focus on isolating symptoms instead of considering the whole picture. Dr. Vikki Petersen explains that common symptoms include acid reflux, heartburn, abdominal tension, constipation, shortness of breath, heart palpitations, and anxiety.

These symptoms can be caused by three types of hiatal hernias: frank, sliding, and subclinical. Misdiagnosis leads to unnecessary medication and suffering. At Root Cause Medical Clinic, our team identifies underlying causes and develops personalized programs to address hiatal hernia syndrome without surgery or medication.
