Hi,I am a male the age of 53.Back in 2000. I was diagnosed with a hiatal hernia and gerd.Did upper and lower scopes.In 2006 went back to the hospital with for stomach issues did a upper barium found gastritis and still a hiatal hernia.In 2011 New Years I was in the hospital with I thought was coming from my hernia and throat was a thumping feeling.That night before the hospital I was noticing my hernia felt like it was pushing into my chest.My heart was racing and blood pressure was up.I did not eat or drink anything for hours before.They did a ekg and blood work and said they were pvcs.The tests and the ekg was normal and they said they were benign.But any way I still get these pvcs wich I think or I know they are coming from my hernia or throat.They come on mostly before eating and drinking.After that they stop or when I sit down .But if I get up too soon sometimes right after eating they come on when I bend over or move a certain way.I cannot fast.
