Hello, my name is Robert, For about 10 years I was getting PVC's a skipped beat of the heart. They were few and far in between but they dove me absolutely crazy. I hounded my primary doctor and cardiologist. As time went by the PVC's grew more frequent. My anxiety grew worse. Test after test showed that my heart was 100% fine. The cardiologist was at a loss. About 5 years ago I had lost about 20 lbs I was not working out. I had no appetite. I was also feeling very shaky. I went to my doctor and told her what was happening. Her answer was anxiety medication. I went home still at a loss. My doctor told me I was losing it and I was starting to believe it. It got very bad. I was considering suicide. If not for my two daughters I would have done it. Finally, my doctor sent me to a gastrologist, they did an endoscopy. After the endoscopy, he told me that I had one of the worst cases of H Pylori that he had ever seen. It had completely taken over my stomach. He told me that this would explain all of my symptoms. I also had a large Hiatal Hernia. He put me on a massive dose of two different antibiotics totaled about 3,000 mg. I immediately started to feel better. It was a miracle. Most of our serotonin is processed in our digestive system, if it's thrown off it will lead to what seems like a mental condition. From them out I started taking probiotics, manuka honey, ginger, turmeric. I got myself a Nutra ninja and changed my diet. I have battled the gerd from a hiatal hernia since then. For me when my stomach gets agitated it affects my vagus nerve which triggers the PVC's. It's always after a meal. I take digestive enzymes to digest my food faster so that the symptoms subside quicker. Battling the gerd on a daily basis can be very tiring. Exercise helps. I figured this all out on my own. Doctors even the gastrologist don't seem to be able to explain this to patients and the fact that the digestive system can affect our mental state is often overlooked. Before the endoscopy, I went to the emergency room several times looking for help. The referred me to a physiatrist.  I just wanted to share my experience with this community. Maybe it could help someone a little and maybe somebody has advice for me. Thanks
