Hiatal Hernia PVC

[phillys976]

Hi. I do not agree with the docs answer that hiatal hernias and PVC's are not related. I am by no means a medical expert, by I have experienced it myself. Experience is the best teacher. I have had extremely bad GERD for many years. I just started a new job at a Auto shop, and on my first day I lifted a large tire high in the air. I felt a sharp pain only for a second in my lower chest. I continued working with no apparent problems. When I returned home I began having PVC's for the first time in my life. And they got really bad.  Every third beat, Tri-something they called it at the emergency room. Thought I was going to die! The doc said my blood work was fine, told me to stop drinking caffiene and sent me home. Now I am having sharp pains right below my chest bone. Feel fatigued, sick to my stomach and have headaches. The PVC's are probly somewhere around 10-15 a min, very annoying and scary. My point is, I have never had PVC's before, but believe I have a hiatal hernia that was made worse by lifting the tire. I refuse to believe it to be a coincidence that the extreme PVC's just decided to pop up after this occurence. It is proven that most people with hiatal hernias have GERD.
