GERD - Dyspepsia - excercise problems

[london_man]

Hi Guys,

I was wondering if you could help me with the following question.

I have been suffering with GERD (Dyspepsia) since last september and have it under control - my problem is that I have started back at the gym doing weights and I have a pain on my left side, so I was wondering if this is a symptom of GERD or could it be a muscle pull?

Does anyone else have a similar pain when they push weights?

I have no other pain when I cycle or use the cross trainer

Thanks in advance :)

zup london_man. How u doin with the weights there?

Some questions for u:

- Is the pain in the trained area? Say if you did abs, maybe thats where it hurts the next day or 2 days after. (i know how it feels, I'm a hardcore sports guy, hit the gym and play basketball)

- Does the pain increase when you start to "think more about it"? Which is the MAIN TRIGGER of stress.

Idk. I am kind of in the dark with ur issue here. Hope u answer back so we can check it out. I'm no doctor, just a guy with GASTRITIS and some heartburn. Glad to help u.

ps/ don't cut to much on ur excercise. 1 or 2 days tops man. that lowers stress and makes u feel good, which IN ANY DISEASE, it's one of the best medicines u can get. Stress can be a real pain.

Thanks for the response


The pain on my left side is in the same place as my stomach but does not bring on any GERD symptoms.

I think I'll probably give my it a few weeks and then try the gym again

  Hi...not sure if u mean this pain also brings with it other GERD symptoms or if u just have a pain in ur side?

  If u have not been to the gym and active for a while it is possible it is a pulled muscle...but, it is also possible that u may have a hiatal hernia that was affected by the lifting...if it does not go away, worsens or other symptoms show, go to ur dr.

  Do post an update on ur progress : )
