A member asked:
I have gone for my endoscopy test and result shows mild hiatal hernia.can i still do strenuous exercise? would it make it worse if i do?

yes: You can exercize but any increase in abdominal pressure (by straining while holding your breath) may exacerbate your reflux. So if you lift, breathe as you do so.

I don't think: Heavy lifting should be part of your routine.
