Anyone develop worsened acid reflux (GERD) or a hernia post-covid?
My husband always had bad acid reflux issues and I had mild acid reflux. After covid, his acid reflux became so bad that he had to get surgery for that and for a new hernia. I also found out that I had developed a hernia post-covid and my acid reflux is now worse as a result. Doctor said that the excessive coughing and vomiting can cause a hernia.

In reference to the GERD has any doctor told you this was caused by Covid-19? I am going through the same thing where the doctors want to blame your GERD on acid reflux but don't want to say it was from Covid-19?
it definitely could.Things change when covid hits.I just had 3 hernias repaired.I'm 72...have only really walked on the treadmill these several last years from being sick(5 years).Losing 40 lbs and almost total loss of appetite will do things to ya...hope all goes well for you...Prayers sent.
