I haven’t been diagnosed, but I know this is what is happening. After much research I believe I have Rohemheld Syndrome (Gastrocardiac Syndrome) from a HH but I need to get a scope done to confirm.

Here are my recurring symptoms:

• heart palpitations
• constant burping
• light headed at times
• tired and fatigue all the time
• short of breath and tight chest at times
• tinnitus
• panic attacks nearly every week
• anxiety nearly every day
• tight throat feeling
• bloated

Can anyone relate to these? Does it sound like it could be a HH?

I started taking Lexapro about 2 years ago for generalized anxiety and occasional panic attacks (once every 2-3 months). Since then I’ve gained 30lbs which has contributed to all the above symptoms.

I’m at a loss of what to do. I’m being referred to a psychiatrist for my panic attacks and anxiety, but I’ve also been told a few years ago I can get a scope if I decide to. I never did the scope because I’m afraid of going under and having something down my throat. I already have enough anxiety and panic attacks over the HH symptoms that I’m choking or can’t swallow.

I don’t know what to do. Im lost. My doctor basically told me he would refer me to anything I want done. But I don’t know what to do.
