Signs You Might Have a Hiatal Hernia and Not Know It

Most people with a hiatal hernia have no idea they have one — it hides behind reflux, bloating, anxiety, even heart and breathing symptoms. In this video, Dr. Vikki walks through the pattern of signs that point to a hiatal hernia, and tells you the honest truth about the "finger test," the "apple cider vinegar test," and why you can't actually diagnose this at home.

The honest bottom line: you can't confirm a hiatal hernia at home. You can recognize the pattern and use it to get a proper evaluation. This video is for recognition, not self-diagnosis.
