Hi. Long time no see.

I had my Nissen a little under three years ago. I was working out recently and decided not to do my modified weight lifting and layed down. Since then, I've gotten heartburn from most everything. Upper GI shows no reflux, but a small hiatal hernia that should not be there. I'm careful to not recline for the appropriate time after eating even though I shouldn't have to.

Could the environment be a possibility? I live in a dusty home with a constantly running dehumidifier, live in one of the worst places in the country for pollen and work in a moldy building.

I just don't get why I'm feeling bad.

Thanks.

Upper GI doesn't always catch everything. I had one last week, with small bowel follow through that didn't show for sure whether my wrap is below the diaphragm where it belongs.

I mentioned a couple of times that the stomach didn't start to react until they had me sitting in a chair waiting for the next set of swallows and fluoroscopy.

Maybe the only thing to do is wait until the problem gets worse and finally shows up on testing.

I can't imagine how dust would affect anythng. It wouldn't hurt to clear the dust. I have extra thick filters on my furnaces and have settings to run at low speed, circulating air 24/7. Do you have an allergic reaction causing a lot of coughing?

After a wrap your body has changed. I wouldn't be doing any heavy lifting ever again. How about running or swimming?
