i am a 55 year old healthy active female, who, when feeling anxious suffers from palpitations and extrastole heart beats which seem to originate from the left hand side of the stomach. The more it happens the more anxious i become which then worsens the whole situation!! An echo cardiogram showed a v minor heart valve murmur considered to be of no issue. Could i have a hiatial hernia that is contribuitng to these uncomfortable senstations? what teatment is there? thankyou Cathy
