Hiatal hernia self-adjustment and GERD remedy

Hello,

I suffered considerably bad nausea for the past one month. I was unable to sort out, if it was from CD or GERD. In the end, I was able to make out that I had it probably because of GERD, since I was experiencing other GERD symptoms like excess salivation and regurgitation.

I posted in the GERD forum for help, but did not get any. I did some research on the internet and got some useful information that I want to share today. My nausea/GERD has reduced considerably after following these techniques.

As many of you know, nausea can be reduced by accupressure method. I press the accupressure point on both arms two times for two minutes daily. Alternatively you can buy a pair of accupressure bands.

I had a small lump below my left breastbone, which was a hiatal hernia. Since I'm slender I could fell it very easily. I gently pushed it down. It went down the second day and I was surprised. In addition, I massage my esophageal sphincter and press the two valves mentioned in the below video to reduce bloating.

Thanks for your reply and suggestion.

I have been taking Pantoprazole and PPI for GERD. I have eliminated junk food and have changed my lifestyle. I visit my family doctor regularly. He thinks, my GERD may be temporary, since I haven't had it before. I hope it'll be temporary.
