RELATIONSHIPS. DoDD 5106.01, April 20, 2012 7 Change 1, 08/19/2014.

To help prevent symptoms of a hiatal hernia 1  : Wear loose clothing. 2  Anything that presses on the stomach can aggravate hiatal hernia symptoms. 3  When your stomach is full, avoid bending over or lying down. 4  This increases abdominal pressure and makes heartburn more likely.
Two other problems that a hiatal hernia may contribute to are asthma and heart disease. Since the hernia reduces the lung capacity by interfering with natural breathing, it could be a factor in asthma. The hernia may also put pressure on the heart. Gas in the intestines may put pressure on the hernia and push it against the bottom of the heart, which may be one way in which a heart attack can be triggered.
