A member asked:
I was diagnosed with sliding hiatus hernia 7 months back. chest pain, acidity post meal, fatigue, sleep problems. should i walk for 10 mins after meal?

Hiatal hernia : Walking after a meal should help. Eating small meals more frequently may also help. Sleeping with your head and body on pillows will help at night. Also, taking acid reducers before you go to bed will help. The hiatal hernia allows for acid reflux (GastroEsophageal Reflux Disease or GERD). The hiatal hernia is fixable if medical therapy and conservative maneuvers don't help.
