Suggest Treatment For Excessive Burping And Heartburn While Treating Hiatal Hernia

Yes, with highest probability
Detailed Answer:
Greetings, sir! Thank you for your question and welcome to Health Care Magic. I understand your concern.
Well, yes, there is a high probability that the hiatal hernia generates premature ventricular contractions. This happen mainly because of the proximity of the hiatal hernia and the oesophagus with the heart. I understand that palpitations can be annoying. Therefore, they demand treatment. You are referring that they happen more often and are more annoying now. Although I am almost certain that they are triggered by the gastro-oesophageal problem, a 24-hour Holter rhythm registration is mandated, to determine exactly how often these phenomena happen during a day and in which part of the day they are present the most. My recommendation, besides this test, would be for you to be started on a beta-blocker (atenolol, metoprolol) or a calcium channel blocker (verapamil, diltiazem), which are shown to be effective in surpressing and preventing premature ventricular contractions. Consult your cardiologist about the dosage and frequency of taking. If a drug from these classes does not succeed to surpress PVCs, then a discussion about a antiarrhythmic agent should be taken into consideration.
I hope I was of help. I am happy to help, if you have follow-up questions. Please rate the answer, if you do not.
Wish you a good health,
Dr. Meriton
