I was told by a chiropractor who practices Applied Kinesiology that I have a hiatal hernia. ???? I don't have any GERD-like symptoms; no heartburn that I can't attribute to stressors like spicey, or tomato based foods. Although I am seriously skeptical about his opinion on this, this doctor was able to give me great relief from my migraine headaches when he suggested a dietary change that I'd never considered before. (Corn)
I have GAD, and my symptoms are not situational. A constant feeling of tightness in my chest, heart palpitations, excess sweating, lots of sighing to try to take a deep breath. Wow, that looks really unpleasant written down. It is really unpleasant. I am not taking any benzos after having been on xanax for 3 years. Of course, when I tapered off the xanax the anxiety symptoms returned, no surprise.
What I'm wondering is whether my anxiety symptoms be attributed to a hiatal hernia, and what can I do to ease these symptoms if this is a hernia and not anxiety?
