Diagnosed with small hiatus hernia. no reflux or heartburn. will playing sports like cricket,football, make it bigger. i don't lift heavy weights. ty ?

Stay with sport: It may get larger with time, but most likely not until your 70. Furthermore, activity won't influence that. I would forget about that diagnosis, and love your life normally, and without restriction. Hope this helps!
