subject: Hiatus Hernia Symptoms After Eating Are Painful But There Is A Solution For You [print this page] Hiatus hernia symptoms seem to bother the 55 and over age-group although they can be seen in any age group
Even though the precise origin is unidentified there are certain specifics that point to some people rather than others.
Yet again folk who smoke seem to be more at risk as do those who are obese or overweight. At certain stages in their pregnancy women are at risk of showing hiatus hernia symptoms.
Anything generating undue pressure on the abdomen, such as straining as is common with constipation, bouts of heavy coughing or even an abnormal physical effort, can be responsible. Therefore, those who are too weighty put some extra pressure on their stomach.
One of the more common hiatus hernia symptoms is a burning sensation around the chest accompanied by belching and a sour taste in the mouth; all decidedly unpleasant. To make matters worse, the condition is often accentuated when lying flat in bed. If this is you, it may well be that, like many folk, you are suffering from heartburn perhaps caused by a hiatus hernia. If so, acid from the stomach, will flow back into the esophagus and cause a certain amount of discomfort through a burning pain and some soreness. Additionally, acid reflux into the mouth has an acrid taste which leaves a sour residue.
So what can you do to minimize these unpleasant symptoms or, better still, eradicate them altogether?
You can opt out of any lifestyle improvement and enjoy life as it is. But there is another way which many people will find unpalatable and some may feel the cure is worse than the disease.
Nonetheless, it's up to you, if you want a more healthy and attractive body you must change your approach to the way you live.
Even today all the adverse publicity has not persuaded everyone to give up smoking or drinking alcohol. If you want to feel better you really must give up on tobacco and, at the very least, cut down on your alcohol consumption.
You should have a serious look at your diet because some foods really do intensify the problem. Likely culprits are food high in fat content and hot, heavily spiced dishes.
Many people are just too greedy and stuff themselves with food at one go. Far better to have more small servings spread throughout the day rather than three hefty meals. Add in five servings of fruit and vegetables every day along with around six glasses of water and you'll be making some progress.
Nevertheless,ask your medical professional if any of your medicines will interfere with your digestion.
Lastly, try to do some exercise even if it's only a thirty minute walk most days, and as well as feeling good it is likely you won't have the usual hiatus hernia symptoms.
