Heart Palpitations at Night? It's Your Hiatal Hernia

You're lying in bed. Nothing stressful has happened. And your heart starts pounding, fluttering, skipping — or you jolt awake at two in the morning with your heart racing and a feeling of dread you can't explain. If your cardiologist has already checked you and told you your heart is healthy, and this still happens the moment you lie down, there's a reason — and it has nothing to do with your mind. 

Dr. Vikki explains the gut-heart connection almost nobody looks at: why lying flat changes everything, and the three ways your stomach can set off your heart.

⏱️ What we cover 

→ Gravity — the one thing that changes when you lie down 
→ The vagus nerve: why your gut and your heart share a communication line 
→ Roemheld syndrome — the gastrocardiac connection, described over 100 years ago 
→ Mechanism 1: the stomach presses up on the nerve 
→ Mechanism 2: acid on the esophagus and the esophago-cardiac reflex 
→ Mechanism 3: inflammation millimeters from your heart's electrical tissue 
→ Why it isn't "just anxiety" — the positional tell that gives it away 
→ The pressure-reflux loop, and why breaking it looks different for every person

💬 Tell me in the comments — does yours start the moment you lie down? How long have you been told it's anxiety?

⚠️ Important → Get your heart checked first. Palpitations with chest pain, fainting or near-fainting, severe shortness of breath, or a racing heart that won't stop are not wait-and-see — that is emergency care, now. This video is not a substitute for medical evaluation, and if you're being treated for anxiety, don't stop anything on the basis of a video.
