Supid *** doctors

Just got back from seeing a doctor with many years experience. He explained to me Hiatal hernias can sometimes put pressure on, or in some way disturb the vegal nerve witch can in-turn upset the hearts natural beat, causing PVC's PAC'S etc.


This discussion is related to hiatal hernia/PVCs related.

The Vagus Nerve is truly the mother of all nerves.  I went to see "Bodies, The Expedition" a few weeks ago and they had a vagus nerve perserved and I was AMAZED at how big it is.  It pretty much is in the whole body.  I understand now why I have so many symptoms from my hernia and GERD, it is aggravating the vagus nerve.  I don't care what doctors say, I saw it with my own two eyes.  It definetly has an effect on the whole entire body!!

Weren't you just questioning a doctor who said palpitations could Not be caused from hiatal hernia?

I know for sure that it causes my heart to get off if I do too much to upset the hernia.

The doctor's having described it as vegal nerve answers a lot.  
Look up the vegal nerve. See where all it goes, what it is near, and you'll see why it is a perfectly good explanation for the heart to go a bit haywire.
It's a Mighty Nerve, it is!

Yes, it's true and I have suffered this for years and years, but I have had numerous doctors including a cardiologist 'poo pa' it. Only one elderly GP who I went to for years until he retired explained the same thing to me and he was right. The rest seem to have tunnel vision and I agree that a lot of them are 'silly *****'!
