Not necessarily: Gerd can come and go, and is rekated to stress, weight, diet whether you have a hiatal hernia. The 3 common things which cause more gerd are caffiene, alcohol and nicotine. If you can avoid coffee or soda, cigarettes, and minimize alcohol it will greatly help you gerd. Try to eat earlier in the evening and if you are overweight even losing 10 lbs will help your symptoms.
