I am 20 years old male and since april
2006 i started having acid reflux problems
however i take one pill of Pantoprazole
40mg once every 2 weeks and this keeps my
acidreflux pretty much in control and i
rarely get a heartburn however i always
feels some degree of indigestion after
eating. I wud also like to say that before
April 2006 i was a really healthy person
and had never visited a doctor for any
thing more serious than Flu and Cold used to workout
daily and considered my self really lucky
because of this who knew i wud get acid
reflux problems
However the reason i am posting today is
last week i decided to do some push ups
and i have not done any kind of working
out except running and swimming since i
started having acid reflux problems so
after such a long break worked out for 10
minutes mostly i did pushups. The next day
i felt dull pain whenever i arched my back
slighly just below my ribcage in the
center where the stomach is. I didnt give
much attention to it as i thought that my
upper abbs might be sore and pain will
go away in a day or two. Now its been 5
days and the pain even though lessened
still hasn't gone away. The problem is i
feel no pain in my daily activites even
while running and swimming no pain at all
(in the area just below the ribcage and
above bellybutton) but whenever i arch my
back i feel the same dull pain and if i
press firmly on the spot it hurts a bit
more but as soon as i stop this its all
back to normal. My first guess is that i
have sore abdomen muscles just in case cud
it be a Hiatus Hernia(I must mention that
my stomach and daily digestion is fine and
as usual some indigestion when ever i eat
like it was before this so no change in my
digestion and stomach).Plz ne help wud be
appreciated.

you probably just pulled a muscle while
working out. If you had a hiatus hernia,
you would feel sick to your stomach and
belch alot and would be able to eat much.
Since it is going away..that is good. If
you get it again, then go see a doctor to
get it checked out. in the meantime, dont
arch your back or press on your
stomach..

I forgot to add that exercise can kick up
acid reflux. when I go to the gym or to
dance, sometimes after about 10 minutes of
working out I get really bad acid reflux.
My doctor also confirmed this.
