Is it safe to lift heavy weights with a sliding hiatal hernia? I have had a sliding hiatal hernia for many years and over the last 16wks I have added heavy lifting into my workout routine. I sometimes notice 'discomfort' in area where my hernia is after lifting..should I be concerned? It doesn't last long but it is noticeable. Thoughts?

    Consult a doctor,

    Over 9000 this.
    I have a slight hernia and got cleared to lift but was warned "Stop if there's ANY pain associated with it," but you mileage will vary wildly with the severity of the hernia.

    I have a hiatus hernia and I haven't really had a problem when lifting, just the foods/drinks that I have.
