Even atrial fibrillation for some. What's happening?You could be suffering from Roemheld Syndrome, also known as gastrocardiac syndrome. [Gastro = stomach, cardiac = heart]. The understanding of this syndrome stems from the work of Dr Roemheld that stems back to 1912 when he wrote about it.Dr Roemheld very astutely understood that classic cardiac symptoms in the presence of no heart disease which in fact stemming from digestive upset.What we describe as hiatal hernia syndrome fits what's occurring. Mechanically, excess gas and bloating increases intra-abdominal pressure, pushing your stomach upwards against your diaphragm. This pressure in turn causes irritation to the sac surrounding your heart and it responds to this irritation with a combination of symptoms just discussed.There is also a nervous system component due to the fact that the diaphragm and vagus nerve are stretched or irritated when the stomach pushes upwards. The vagus nerve signals are altered and it can affect heart function, despite the presence of no heart disease.Maybe you too have experienced a lack of validation for your symptoms once your heart has been cleared from disease. Roemheld Syndrome validates your experience of these very real heart symptoms due to the mechanical and neurological alterations due to the pressure and abberant movement of your stomach and diaphragm.Advanced studies using high-resolution manometry and impedance pH testing confirm what Roemheld discovered well over 100  years ago.Along with these cardiac-like symptoms, those with hiatal hernia suffer from gas, bloating, acid reflux, constipation, chronic cough, sleep issues and more.There is much that can be done for this condition once you have ruled out the presence of heart disease, which of course would take precedence for treatment. Once the heart has been deemed fine, the treatment options are natural and effective.If you'd like help we're here for you.
