I have gerd grade c and hiatus hernia. used to consume alcohol but have stopped for now. can this condition reverse itself. i run 3 km daily.

Only with effort: Gerd worsens with factors that push stomach acid back up, such as being overweight, eating large meals and laying flat...Or factors that relax your lower esophagus allowing reflux, like fatty foods, alcohol, caffeine, so running to get in shape and laying off alcohol helps a lot. But the condition is being helped by your hard work, not truly "reversed by itself".
