I'm a 21-year-old guy with a sliding hiatal hernia, and my doctor said surgery isn't needed right now. I really want to start going to the gym but I'm worried about making my condition worse. Can I still do workouts or should I avoid certain exercises? Feeling pretty down about this and need some guidance.

For sliding hiatal hernia, you can still work out, but avoid exercises that strain the abdomen, such as heavy lifting or intense core workouts. Focus on low-impact activities, and discuss with your doctor for a safe exercise plan.

Is it possible for the heaviness in my chest to be related to gastric issues or anxiety? I've been experiencing this chest heaviness for the past three months, and my heart tests have come back normal. I'm trying to figure out what might be causing it. Any ideas?
Yes, chest heaviness can be caused by both gastric problems and anxiety. For gastric issues, you can try taking antacids like **Ranitidine** 150mg twice daily before meals to reduce stomach acid. For anxiety, you can try **Escitalopram** 10mg once daily in the morning to help manage your symptoms. It is important to also make lifestyle changes such as avoiding trigger foods for gastric issues and practicing relaxation techniques for anxiety.
