I exercise daily but the other day i took an extreme spinning class. It wasn't long after that my GERD was so bad, worse than it has been in years. Severe upper chest/upper back burning, lump in throat, nausea. Could the action and motion from the spinning class (it included alot of core work/weights too)aggravate and cause more GERD symptoms? Any info is appreciated. I took Zegerid and Gavison and it finally helped but i still feel the lump in my throat feeling and general discomfort.

There are certain movements I avoid altogether when exercising or doing yard work. One is anything having to do with lying on my stomach. The other is holding my arms out and up (like wings) for an extended period of time. That motion naturally relaxes your diaphragm, and tends to be conducive to aggravating my hiatal hernia and GERD.
