Do you suffer with acid reflux or hiatal hernia? Do you also suffer with irregular heartbeats like atrial fibrillation (A fib)? Have you wondered if they were connected?➡️ Click HERE to Book a Consultation: https://rootcausemedicalclinics.com/hiatal-hernia-natural-treatment/Call us directly: 727-335-0400If so, you're correct. Before we jump into the results of a brand new study confirming the link, I want to note that symptoms associated with your heart should always be checked out first by a cardiologist. This video is directed towards those individuals who do NOT have heart disease but still suffer with cardiac symptoms.Atrial fibrillation occur due to an irregular rhythm in the upper chambers of your heart called the atria. The heart's electrical system becomes irregular. Symptoms include heart palpitations, a racing heart, fatigue, shortness of breath or dizziness.This new research, corroborated by several other studies which I include below, cite that acid reflux treatment could influence the prevention or progression of A fib. And the acid reflux (GERD) mangement could potentially modify A fib risk. This is exciting.When heart disease isn't driving A fib, how does acid reflux cause it? There are 2 key mechanisms:1. Vagus nerve involvement - it's called vagally -mediated A fib and the clue to its presence is A fib that occurs after meals, when you're overly full, it occurs when lying down or during reflux. Reflux and hiatal hernia causes irritation that can overstimulate the vagus and thereby trigger A fib or heart palpitations.2. Inflammation due to acid exposure - acid and bile reflux causes inflammation of the esophagus. Anatomically the esophagus is very close to the atria of your heart. Inflammatory chemicals, created by reflux set off changes in the cells of the atria that alter how electrical impulses are generated, causing electrical instability.The solution for this type of atrial fibrillation is to get the reflux under control naturally. I say naturally because PPI medication has multiple side effects, one of which is a risk of heart attack and stroke.It's not difficult to identify the root cause of acid or bile reflux and to get the hiatal hernia symptoms under control.If you'd like help we're here for you.
