Hiatal Hernia and Palpitations??

I had a chronic sore throat for a few months and went to a ENT Dr. He said I have signs of reflux and put me on prilosec for a few months. Its worked great so far, I missed a dose today and after a small subway sanwich my heartrate went up to about 105 with some PVC's/PAC's. I'm not new to these arrythmias but was wondering if what I have is a Hiatal Hernia. I've read its all connected to the vagus nerve which affects the heart. How long can I stay on Prilosec and is there anything I can do to prevent the raise in heartrate and palpitations after eating.

Thanks

Hi...I also used to get the heart palps, but found mine were related to a thyroid issue I also have and with meds for that the palps have stopped. I did however go to a cardio dr to be sure it was not heart related.

If it is not ur thyroid, and not ur heart...could be ur hernia is affecting ur vagus nerve...I have heard there r some chiropractors that r educated in manipulating the hernia so it is less likely to be bothersome.....u may want to try this.....as with nething, not all drs  r the same and if the first one says he can help, but it doesn't appear he is...try a 2nd....

Good luck
