Reply To: Diagnosed with bilateral inguinal hernias

I havent had my hernia surgery yet. Ive always had various intestinal stuff that’s come and gone. It’s very possible that the stomach problems were as a result of the change in my diet that corresponded to the pvcs. Specifically, I thought maybe the pvcs were a result of drinking too much caffeine. They probably werent, but I switched off coffee and changed to soft drinks (dr pepper)which i didnt normally drink. I realize these also have caffeine, but not as much, and I was only drinking about 20 to 30 ounces a day.

So,the stomach problems might have been something from that. At any rate, presently both problems have cleared to a large degree.

I would try to get myself one of the oximeters with the heartbeat graphs and watch the graph when the heart palpitations are happening. Possibly the intestinal bloating is not the root cause. Those oximeters are maybe 30 dollars.
