Title: Hiatal Hernia and Acid Reflux Exercise Help.
Post by: Autumnlady on November 08, 2016, 09:38:20 AM

I have found this on the net and wonder whether to try it tomorrow morning as it says to do first thing of a morning after a warm drink of water. It's advised by a Dr but I am always cautious.

Here is the link if anyone is interested. I am off to look up about pressure points to see if that might help too. If I find any I will post it here.

I have found another link with the same exercise and another which has cartoon moving drawings to show how to do them correctly.

Hi
I tried this whilst I was on holiday this year, not sure whether it helped as I found the culprit of what was causing the heartburn problem around the same time.  Got chatting to the people in the next room and they asked if I had heard the strange banging noise first thing in the morning  ::) ;D  To be honest, I'd give it a go I can't see it would do much harm (unless you have people living downstairs!).

Yes, like you I was desperate to get it sorted too which made me resort to the exercises.  It was actually calcium/vit D supplements which were causing the heartburn - when I stopped taking them, the heartburn stopped.  It's all very weird as you usually take calcium derived tablets for heartburn, but for me they just made it worse.  I hope the exercises work for you and you get some relief x

Thank you Dollydream, I did my first routine this morning, so that's a start. I'm sure I won't be seeing improvement immediately but I will stick with it and see how it goes.

It just shows with your calcium tablets that not everybody is the same!
