See a G.I. Doctor: Your surgery was to treat a hiatal hernia, you could still have residual hernia, esophageal spasm or just esophageal reflux. You need to see a good gastroenterologist (GI) doctor for an endoscopy.

Not sure what I'm feeling with my heart. Once in a while when working out, I'll feel a flutter or two in my chest. But maybe it's a palpitation. Feels like it beats REALLY hard for a single beat. Arrhythmia runs in my family. Should I be concerned?
