Natrural Cure for Hiatus Hernia
As your question is not complete, basic information regarding hiatus hernia is provided. Protrusion of the stomach through the diaphragm into the upper chest cavity is referred to as hiatus hernia. Typical symptoms are absent, though heartburns are seen.
Lying down or bending forward results in pain. Symptoms worsen by the intake of spicy foods, hot drinks and coffee.
Acidic contents are pushed back, thereby resulting in acidity of the duodenum, thereby affecting the oesophagus. Increase in the abdominal pressure causes an increase in the size of the hernia. Excessive weight has to be shed. Raise the pillow levels and sleep in an elevated manner. Avoid sleeping with a full stomach. Smaller frequent meals are recommended. Comfortable loose fitting clothes are considered. Magnesium and aluminium in antacids are helpful in buffering the acidic contents. Histamine blockers and other acid blocking medicines provide instant relief.
A rolling hernia calls for immediate medical attention. Surgery is often recommended. Alcohol, chocolates, peppermints, fatty foods and nicotine are avoided. Abdominal exercises, girdles and stooping are abstained from, as they increase the acid reflux. Obesity also raises the pressure on abdomens. Calcium channel blockers and antidepressants are not suggested, as they decrease the strength of the oesophagus.
