A member asked:
Can i continue my passion of weightlifting despite having a gerd and hiatal hernia.
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Absolutely: Symptoms of gerd can be aggravated by heavy straining, and if this the case, surgical consultation should be considered, as anti-reflux surgery can be very effective if diminishing these symptoms. Behavior and diet modification is imperative as well. See your physician.
