Reduce problems associated with Hiatus Hernia

Independent medical opinion shows that an Adjustamatic adjustable bed can help to relieve the symptoms of Hiatus Hernia.

A hiatus hernia occurs when the upper part of the stomach, which is joined to the oesophagus (gullet), moves up into the chest through the hole (called a hiatus) in the diaphragm. It is a common condition and occurs in about 10 per cent of people.

Most people are not troubled by their hiatus hernia, but if reflux of the acid contents of the stomach occurs (called gastro-oesophageal reflux), you get heartburn. This is a painful burning sensation in the chest, which can sometimes be felt in the throat. Sudden regurgitation of acid fluid into the mouth can occur, especially when you lie down or bend forward. These symptoms are a problem when you go to bed and can wake you up. Other symptoms include belching, pain on swallowing hot fluids and a feeling of food sticking in the oesophagus.

The use of an Adjustamatic adjustable bed can help to relieve the symptoms of Hiatus Hernia in a number of ways:

• The flexibility of an Adjustamatic beds or adjustable chair makes it possible to change your sleeping or seating position regularly. This helps to reduce heartburn, a common symptom of hiatus hernia.

• Adjustamatic's built-in Cyclo-Massage® Therapy system also helps to promote good circulation, helping to reduce the risks further. The soothing massage helps to relax the body so that you can drift into a more comfortable sleep.

• Adjustamatic's unique Easy-Reach® system, also makes it easier for you to reach your bedside table without the need for overstretching or turning.
