Hiatus hernia symptoms can appear at any time or in any age group though the 55+ age group seems to be most at risk
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. For this very reason, people carrying more body weight than they should put additional pressure on their abdomen.
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 add insult to injury the ailment is sometimes made worse by laying flat in bed.
If this sounds like you, it could be you are having heartburn attacks brought on 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.
As well, acid reflux coming into the mouth has a bitter, sour taste.
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.
Nevertheless, if you want a healthy body you really need to consider a healthy lifestyle.
It's remarkable that there are still so many people who have not heeded the negative publicity attached to smoking or 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.
However, you should also check with your doctor as some prescriptive medication is known to affect the digestive system.
Finally, factor in some exercise, perhaps a good walk for 25 minutes each day, and you will almost certainly find you are not troubled by any hiatus hernia symptoms.
