Diagnosed with HH SEP 2012 AND SINCE THEN MY MAIN SYMPTOMS HAVE BEEN NAUSEA AND lump or like a gas bubble in my throat.Been on as low as 10 mgs per day and as high as 80 mgs of  esomeprozole per day but still the same.thought over the last few weeks what causes the stomache to go up into the osophegus so took note of everything i have done or i am doing now.For over 20 years i pulled on a press, then I became a caretaker and was for ever lifting or pulling furniture around and at home nearly every job is pulling or lifting only about 10% is pushing or shoving,so I thought if all that pulling is forcing my stomache up may be pushing will do the oposite.So for the last two weeks I,ve been lying flat on my bed legs over hanging and with weights in each hand shoulder width apart been pushing upwards to the ceiling and the reults are fantastic,The symptoms have improved 75%.It might not work for everybody I suppose it depends on the HH,But if any one wants to try it and let me know if it works for you.I use wieghts but a couple of bags of sugar will do.Unless it could be the omeprozole has finally kicked in after 2 years.

    Thanks for that advice argzxoni I will give it a try.What I have been doing for the last week is drink  pint of warm water when I get up before eating anything or taking my pill and then standing on my toes with my arms raised and dropping to my heels which jolts the body and hopefully has the same affect that you too are seeking.

    I got complacent today and decided to eat some Pringles and I am already feeling it was a mistake. Never again.

    Hi

    Since I was diagnosed with this HH; I have only been prescribed with Lansoprazole 15mg daily. I am under the care of Papworth Hospital yet I have to say that neither my GP Surgery OR Papworth seem to know what they are doing as I was referred to doing a course of Pulmonary Rehabilitation - yet the guy who came and did Ambulatory Oxygen Therapy said I should not have done the course as it was for people with COPD.

    I now have a damaged Hip and a pulled chest muscle and my GP has removed me from the course,

    Having worked over 22 years in the NHS; I believe we know the strength and weakness of our own body and we must all do the very best ourselves for our own body.

    Consultants in the NHS seem to be idiots as they don't seem to get to grasp of what we as individuals need AND I shall tell them so at my next appointment in February.

    So I have to say to you follow your heart and you will do better than those numsculls referred to as consultants in which ever hospital is treating you.
