Quite by chance, before I read your post, I met my sports physician who looked after me during my running days. Over a beer I asked him the same question and got a similar answer to your's. The only difference was his response was salted with a few explicatives. Thanks very much I really appreciate ...

Repairing a paraesophageal or sliding hernia is done as a last resort, according to my physician. And they're not always successful and take a long time to recover from. I've been a type 1 diabetic for well over 40 years and have used exercise is an important factor in staving off the effects of liv...

I have been diagnosed with a Para esophageal hiatus hernia. Of the two hiatus hernias it can be the most serious. My GP has advised me not to row because rowing increases the interabdominal pressure which pushes the esophagus through thediaphram into the chest cavity. Dies anyone have any experience...

I would agree with the anti-flu postings but I have an added problem I'm a type ! diabetic and have been for all most 35 years. I decided to take the vaccine after a rather nasty bout of the flu.

Everything you said makes a lot of sense.

Come to think of it, I used to get heartburn running as well. I tried noot hunching up this afternoon and it worked.

Are you drinking enough water throughout the day? Also, medications might be causing the heartburn. Aleve and ibuprofen give me serious heartburn if I am taking it over a long period of time, Aleve was the worst for me... Ah ha! I've been taking a cholesterol lowering drug. Off to search the intern...

I should have mentioned that I checked with my physian and had a strees test and there are no heart problems.

About the heartburn-he just shrugs his shoulders

Hello fellow ergers I've been seriously erging for about three years and for the past three months or so a problem has surfaced that sounds trivial but is really getting me down. I get really bad heart burn about 15 minutes into a session. It's so uncomfortable that I have to stop and to take medica...
