Hiatus hernias cannot be cured by self-treatment or by drugs but the symptoms might be relieved by specific lifestyle changes. Avoiding heavy meals, replacing them with little frequent ones, avoiding bending forward or lying down after meals, are primer rules in lightening symptoms. Spicy foods, cigarette smoking, alcohol and coffee normally cause severe symptoms. Persons suffering from overweight should rapidly loose weight. Also patients will need to sleep with an excess pillow at night to stop regurgitation and heartburn.
