Has anyone else experienced almost "panic attack" like symptoms after eating or drinking? Feeling like you can't breathe, your heart rate goes up, you start sweating and feeling dizzy? I have been back and forth to the doctors for a few years and they have told me it was anxiety, until recently they did an endoscopy because I developed a globus sensation and found a hiatal hernia. I feel like the doctors are always brushing me off and not really listening to me. Nobody has explained to me how Gerd/LPR or a hiatal hernia can cause this feeling. If anyone else had similar symptoms what did you do to control it?

I can't offer you much information, because these are not symptoms that I experienced with a hernia. Depending on its size, there may not be symptoms directly related to the hernia. I can tell you that anxiety can cause/make your symptoms worse. You can start by following a GERD-friendly diet, keeping a food diary to try and pinpoint you trigger foods, avoid alcohol and smoking. Even if it's only a few pounds, lose weight. Have you seen an actual gastro doctor, and has he prescribed any medication. A good reference point is Mayo Clinic's website for more information about GERD. You also may want to followup with a cardio doctor, if you haven't already done so.

Hi, I experienced these things before I was diagnosed with a sliding hiatal hernia. even after the diagnosis I still had anxiety they put me on zantac one in morning and one in evening. then I started sleeping propped up and got use to it all the anxiety leveled off.
