Can straining make a hiatle hernia larger? i was diagnosed with a 1cm hiatle hernia. would it take years or months of straining to make it worst?

You may be born with an unusually large hiatus and straining with severe constipation or lifting heavy objects or repetitive vomiting may exacerbate the condition which likely progresses over the years.
