Is Hiatal Hernia Associated With Pause Of Heart Beats?
I am a 61 year old male.When i bend over , or sometimes when I eat, I begin to have my heart seems to pause be tween beats. What is really strange is that I can go sit in my recliner for a while and this stops. Could this be caused by some type of hiatal hernia?

Respected user , Hi
Thanks for using Healthcaremagic.com
I have evaluated your query thoroughly .
* Pause of heart beat can be associated with hiatus hernia through vagus
nerve irritation mechanism .
* But not necessarily every hiatus hernia will cause that .
Hope this clears your query .
Welcome for further doubts .
